Parking........... Honey........... Roses.........

Parking, cause... well, ain't that where most dating starts?  Happy Valentine's Day btw.  Of course I never did it (went 'parking'), but... I've heard "The low road at William Jewell"... "The parking lot adjacent to the old downtown KC airport"...  "Up on that hill, where The Scout is now... can lookout and see forever..but... if your goal is to lookout, mebbe wrong passenger eh?"

KC, plans now set, should tax pass in April, for a downtown Baseball Stadium for The Royals..  Whar ya gonna park? (the biggest question.)  Pre-test today as a million.. yes, a planned million will park downtown today to watch the Chiefs parade...

Honey, as in, today is a celebration for/with your honey.  One of my favorite pastimes is to ask couples how they met.  Some, mebbe mundane...."Bar........... Church...... High School.....  Work.... Blind date.. "

Some, I think anyways, kinda fun, and yes, some of the below 'stolen' from internet, some, from folk's answers to my questions..

"40th Class reunion, we'd dated in HS."........ 

"At a swim up bar in Cancun. Right after we flew home (he lived 1,000+ miles away), he bought a motor home, drove to my town, lived.... married soon after... that was 12 years ago."

"He rode his bike into me and accidentally knocked me over. Every few days we coincidentally met at the same place, same time (on campus). We've been together two years now. I'm happy he hit me with his bike."

"She chopped her finger off at work. I took her to the hospital and hung out with her for like 8 hours while they reattached it, then, took her home to make sure she was ok. We've now been together five years, no visable scarring.  Her finger is ok too."

"The roommate of a girl I was casually dating in college came down to inform me her friend would be awhile getting ready.  I admit it maybe took her too long, as three days later we were dating."

"I picked my wife up on a bus. That was 29 years ago last week."

"Met my husband while he was dating one of my friends in HS.. to my credit, they broke up because she cheated on him multiple times so, I don't feel like I violated the girl code too badly."

"I was 19, she was 15. Asked her pappy if I could swim in their pond."

"He was putting his groceries in my car at WalMart.  I said "What are you doing?"  "Putting my groceries in my car."  "This is MY car."  "Huh uh."  So, hit the panic button on the FOB,  (His car, exactly alike, was one space over).  "Oh, I'm sorry."  "Thats ok, just take your groceries out."  "I will, but only if you'll let me make dinner with them tonight."  That was 17 years ago.

"I was manager at a fast food joint.  He delivered bread. He tells people "She liked my buns."

"I was donating blood, and I hit it off with the lady next to me. She seemed to like my weird sense of humor and I think our blood bags touched."

"Worked at an arcade 40 years ago.  He had the best Foosball shot in town, no one could beat him."

"My boyfriend and I did it backwards.  We moved in together, then we met. We were in a University and the rooms were rented out separately.  Four months later, we started dating.  Three months later, I moved out, to a different city actually.  He followed me."

"Met at a dive-y Karaoke bar.  A very drunk friend played matchmaker, told her I had a new puppy (which was true) and that "She should go talk to me." She did, the rest of the evening.  I was excited as she applied some lipstick, kissed a cocktail napkin, wrote down her digits.  My phone died, charged it awhile, then, as I was putting her number in at 2am, I butt dialed her three times.  She still called me back the next morning.  We're now married with two kids."

You?

Me?  TMI. First marriage, she was on the basketball team I coached. Relax, we were both college students. No, there was no favoritism.  Second marriage, I was umping, she was playing and i thought she had the greatest... well... she was (and is) gorgeous

Single? Divorced?  My (mebbe) all-time favorite pickup line......"You look just like my 6th wife." GOOD LORD MAN, how many times you been married?  "Five."

The National Retail Federation estimates people will spend US$2.6 billion on Valentine's Day flowers, but that includes everything from azaleas to zinnias. The Society of American Florists says that 250 million roses are produced for the holiday.

Enjoy this wonderful day. Dare to delve outta your element.  Hold a hand unexpectedly. Hide a love note.  Put a sticky note labeled "BEAUTIFUL" on the bathroom mirror.  Do sumpin. 

Love, Victurd
