Originally posted by MrKnobs Nope, the person who turned up on NYE was a young intern who worked at the recording studio with me. I ended up marrying her. I think that locks in perfectly to a belief I have. I think that who you are when you meet someone basically determines who you meet, and you really can't meet someone too far above or below your level. You were in a very low place when you met your wife, and it turns out she was pretty dysfunctional back in the day, no? I know you've mentioned several "hard times". That makes perfect sense. And if she was some incredibly well-adjusted, grounded person in the beginning, you probably wouldn't've been able to take it, and you'd've sabotaged the relationship. It's a very beautiful affirmation that you were able to weather those storms together, and come out happier and healthier on the other side. Originally posted by MrKnobs Abigail is Gail's real name. I did recently hear the story of the rest of her life from her family. Care to share that? I'd bet dollars to douchebags it isn't a pretty one. Joe

What a fantastic story (or stories, I should say)! Thanks, Terry! Joe
