Funny thing with that 78 storm. We had two blizzards that year. The big one was the second one. I was around for the first.

In its own wacky way that big one was a life changer for me. The woman I was visiting in Florida and I were getting to the point of actual commitment. She is a fifth generation Floridian. When I reacted to news of the storm with a "I can't believe I'm missing this!" she was looking like she figured i was a Martian. That alone didn't kill things but was an early indicator that maybe this wasn't going to work....

She's actually a pretty neat lady and ended up marrying a fellow down there with instant family he didn't much like. i don't think i could do that.
