15 years ago...

Fifteen years ago today, October 13, 1995, I was just a poor mentsch.  It started out like any other day.  Went to work.  Got a haircut.  Met the gang at a Wrigleyville pub, The Gingerman.  And that's when life as I knew it changed forever.  FOREVER.  It was there where I ran into my former camp/school mate and future bride, who was in town from California for a wedding.

The next day, I met her at Old Orchard mall, where she was getting her make-up done for the wedding--the wedding which I would wind up crashing to be with her.  I was trying to make the most of my time with her while she was in town.

The next, next day, which happened to be the future bride's birthday, was spent having breakfast at Wishbone, strolling the Magnificent Mile, dinner at Club Lucky (my fav), and a nightcap at Cafe Absinthe.

Now that was some weekend.
