About The How We Met posts
|
About The How We Met posts mcmaniac asked about a week ago if I'd be interested in posting about how my wife PD and I met. I have commented about it in other folks' blogs, and I've alluded to it in posts here in my own blog, but I never really told the story. How we recall events can be really interesting- look at the different perspectives on what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. People witness an event and recall what they saw, but often when a video recording is played that doesn't appear to be what happened. Or they witness an event and they remember the version stored in their brain but they get to hanging around with someone who interprets that same event differently, maybe with a certain slant, and a new version supplants the one stored up in the mind and takes over- and the old version is gone. This isn't about attempting to deceive. It's about how our brains and our memories work. People who record testimony know this already. Cops, insurance agents, court recorders- all kinds of people do this for a living and they have to get kind of skeptical of people's memories, and their ability to accurately recall what actually happened. You can ask six witnesses and get six different answers. This is not a serious issue in a "how we met" story. This ain't Ferguson, Missouri or The War Between the States. I don't think there'll be any protests, or any grand juries. Unless my ex-wife gets wind of it. But I got to thinking that it might be fun to do a "he said, she said' pair of posts, and see what happened. So we did. They follow- the next post is hers and mine finishes up below that.

This trilogy - yes, I'd go that far - is one of the best set of blog posts I've read. I love a love story with a happy ending. Brilliant.

Damn! Thank you very much! It's a very happy story that hasn't ended...but the first couple of chapters are fun to think back on. It's sort of turned into something like one of those warm and fuzzy childhood memories where individual details seem to crowd out the larger story.

After I posted I realised there's no ending, but my instincts tell me your story is going to be even happier before it ends. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It was mcmaniac who suggested it. I had thought about blogging on this but I wasn't sure anybody would like reading it. I read the blogs and comments of frustrated people here and they aren't any different from us- we've all had these disappointing interactions with seemingly clueless people. And it occurred to me that now and then a success story is called for. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

As I mentioned before, I enjoyed reading the two different perspectives. Thanks for putting those out there!

I'm pleased that you liked them. I have made comments before and been questioned about them, like "Is this really true?" And you know, you can type any bullshit you want on the web. So I thought it might be interesting to post each of our memories of our meeting. I was taken with how much our stories were alike rather than how they were different. We didn't screen them first. We just wrote them and I posted them as they were. A point/counterpoint or he said she said theme in this blog would I suppose only be interesting for nuance rather than content or perspective. We talk to each other a lot and we tend to agree a lot. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
