Re-post: About The How We Met posts
Re-post: About The How We Met posts As usual, mcmaniac was my muse. He suggested that I write these posts the first time, and we were talking today and he'd said he'd like to read them again, and that a lot of the newer people have never seen them. So I'm reposting these three pieces, since I never get tired of praising my wife, and I really want to impress upon members that you just can't give up. You never know what's going to happen and you have to be open to it when it does. About The How We Met posts mcmaniac asked about a week ago if I'd be interested in posting about how my wife PD and I met. I have commented about it in other folks' blogs, and I've alluded to it in posts here in my own blog, but I never really told the story. How we recall events can be really interesting- look at the different perspectives on what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. People witness an event and recall what they saw, but often when a video recording is played that doesn't appear to be what happened. Or they witness an event and they remember the version stored in their brain but they get to hanging around with someone who interprets that same event differently, maybe with a certain slant, and a new version supplants the one stored up in the mind and takes over- and the old version is gone. This isn't about attempting to deceive. It's about how our brains and our memories work. People who record testimony know this already. Cops, insurance agents, court recorders- all kinds of people do this for a living and they have to get kind of skeptical of people's memories, and their ability to accurately recall what actually happened. You can ask six witnesses and get six different answers. This is not a serious issue in a "how we met" story. This ain't Ferguson, Missouri or The War Between the States. I don't think there'll be any protests, or any grand juries. Unless my ex-wife gets wind of it. But I got to thinking that it might be fun to do a "he said, she said' pair of posts, and see what happened. So we did. They follow- the next post is hers and mine finishes up below that.

It is fairly well know that eyewitness testimony is pretty unreliable for various reasons. Preconceived notions, personal gain and other human error situations. It will be interesting to read your accounts. . . . Will the goats be telling their story? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

A little Rashomon is good for the soul. I'm glad you're re-posting these, too. One can always gain something by rereading the classics. And... it's nice to see some writing from PD again, even if she did grace us with a new post not too long ago... Stop in, read, and offer comments at my "swinging as seen in the media" blog, "Confessions of a Lifestyle Man" humorlife, which is also the home of the monthly virtual symposium.

Thanks, Buni. Mac said do it, so I did. I hope to hell he doesn't suggest hang gliding- I'm scared of heights. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

The goats are unreliable storytellers. And they came along later. They don't know shit, so don't listen to them. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

They are squealing just like the pigs did. They had pictures. It's gonna get ugly, they want their credits in lights. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

we meet those people we NEED to meet Both PD and I were open to what we found though, even if it was greater than what we were looking for. That's what really stands out for both of us. We had set our sights lower because we just didn't think love was in the cards for us, but when love happened we grabbed it- and we hung on to it. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Thanks for reposting these. I have just spent a very pleasant half hour reading them...and rereading parts...smiling all the way though. I hope you have many more happy years together walking in the woods and maybe even taking in a movie or two. ~~Anais Nin~~
