We first saw each other at a birthday party for Cindy, a friend of his. I was just tagging along with a co-worker of mine. We didn't technically meet that day but he did meet Rachel. Two days later, I was actually introduced to him at another friend's, Annie. It was the 4th of July so we watched the fireworks together. (Yes, there were fireworks when we met.) Earlier that day, at the same friend's, I had also met a co-worker/friend/neighbor of Steve's, Jay. Jay asked Annie for my phone number so Annie asked me and I said yes (I found out later that my co-worker was beside herself about that because Jay had quite the reputation). Annie also talked Steve into volunteering to teach Rachel to ride her bike. Jay and Steve had no idea that they had both met me on the same day. Steve came over on Thursday for dinner and to teach Rachel but Rachel decided not to come home after summer camp that day (she was 8). Turns out, she had snuck in the back door of the apartment, gotten her bathing suit and snuck back out to go swimming at one of the lodge pools with a tourist child she had met on the way home. Steve , not knowing if he should be worried, offered to go look for her. I said no, 'cause I knew she'd be home eventually. And she was. Only 2 hours late. The next day, Jay called me to go to a movie. I was digging all the attention. Smart man that he was, he also invited Rachel. But things got kinda wierd when he called me to say that "they" were on their way. They??? He was bringing Steve!? and another friend. Huh? So, Steve, Jay, Ned, Rachel and I went to see The Kid. Jay did say that he'd take me out to dinner soon, just him and me. Two days later, I go to a benefit that both Jay and Steve were going to be at and Jay tells me that Steve's interested in me so he's going to back off and that I should call him if it didn't work out with Steve. I was kinda annoyed. I mean, if I had two guys interested in me, shouldn't I get to choose? But, it was a very gentlemanly thing for Jay to do and it all worked out for the best anyhow.
44. IS THE CUP HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY? Half full
45. IF YOU COULD SIT DOWN TO DINNER WITH FIVE PEOPLE WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE? That's a tough one but it's a great question to ask at the dinner table. Some pretty spirited conversations can result.

2. Have you ever had a zit? Ok, here's a more inane question.
3. What food do you eat just because it is good for you? None. I only eat foods that are good for me because they taste good.

Being an engineer's daughter and have an engineer for a brother, the glass is too big! duh!, Lisa J. Class of 1980, I thought the year we graduated grade school was cool too.
