Big Leather Couch

The beautiful and enticing Twyla has conceived a new Meme and tagged me with it.

It is a simple Meme from a subject standpoint, but certainly not so easy in application.

The rules are to name the 4 best nights of your life. Then tag 4 people.

Well being as we have had somewhere in the realm of 19,389 nights in our life, we have more to choose from then others......

Off we go...

1) April 3, 1987 (the only one we will date) - this is simply the easiest. Matthew came into the world on this evening and my life has never been the same. My son is my everything...We miss him so very much...miss being able to just knock knuckles or hug or just laugh about something stupid. And we really miss watching him play baseball. We have written about this night before, but the short version was it was getting late and my A-Type personality brain had been told he would be born that day...and it was almost the next day...and then we were in the delivery room and then he was screaming his brains out...NIRVANA

OK, this wasn't so much about that night as it was about the results. We had to add it Twyla...

2) See, we are breaking the rules already, and this meme is not even 24 hours old...it was a day/night thing...just spending it with a special friend. We were out and about all day laughing and smiling, holding hands and hooking our thumbs into the back pocket of the other's jeans, and just enjoying each other's company, and then back for dinner at my apartment.
Made some pasta and my gravy for her as promised...

Then the BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE PART ---we just laid on the couch together so close, under a soft blanket we have...watching TV for a while before ....well...before.... Silly me had put together a few hours of music we knew she loved and appreciated and it played in the background...with the candles...and ...well.....That night everything in the world just felt so right, like it had never felt before....like the black clouds had been vanquished forever...there were visions of a lifetime of similar days...wonderfully happy days...a night that will live in my brain and my heart forever.


3) The night we were made a member of TKE Fraternity. Without going into details (NO, there was no puking, eating of disgusting things, animals or breaking the law involved in our initiations), it began as a stressful night with the impression we would be asked to leave, until they asked us to be their Brother. It was the night that we gained friends that we still have to this day. men who we would drop everything for to assist (well, my closest friends know we would do that for them also...anytime, anywhere, anything...) and they would do the same if we needed. Yes, it ended up in drunken debauchery that lasted two days and a freakin' killer hang-over the next day (do you know how drunk you have to be at 19 to have a hang-over...very freakin' drunk, let me tell you!)


4) One evening at work, back in 1977...got a call from a business associate. Would we like tickets to see the opening night of the Knicks, or go with him to the 6th game of the World Series...Dodgers/Yankees....
Silly question, we headed for Da Bronx, and that night witnessed history as Reginald Martinez Jackson - in three at bats, on the first pitch of each at bat, off of three different pitchers, hit three home runs and the Yankees won the World Series...Thrilling night.


Now, I am to tag 4 people.....and the wheel goes round and round and the first place it stops is....

our most favorite SugarBaby friend DIXIE

Ms. Julie from Philly
