10 years ago...
I was 23, and had just quit my job at Amazon. arioch28 and I got legally married (after 5 years together and 4 years handfasted) and moved from Delaware--->Montana--->Seattle. My dearest f1r3fli had done the advance scouting and secured us a house in Lake City. We got here just before WTO, and oddly enough, the events surrounding that week are part of what made me fall in love with the city. I started waiting tables and bartending at the Hurricane, which is how I came to know almost all of you, within 1-3 degrees of separation. The next year was a roller coaster of hard and wonderful and crazy, a time I'm grateful for and even more grateful to be moving steadily away from.
