One of my best friends is engaged!
Without giving away too much, because I don't presume to speak for her, the lucky woman is someone I met 14 years ago at my high school newspaper. I last saw her March 2004, in Virginia, with her boyfriend. Now he's her fiance. The wedding should happen next year. I'm there. I'm so there.
To quote Camus (by way of Harlan Ellison -- I'm still catching up on my reading), "Happiness, too, is inevitable."
All the best, my good friend.
Fondly,
Chris
