We both attended Monsignor Edward Pace Catholic High School and graduated together, c/o 2001. We'd always been "friends" on social media sites, spanning back to myspace times. But in early September of 2012, I posted one of my favorite live musical performances (Joe Cocker performing "With a Little Help from my Friends" @ WOODSTOCK) onto my facebook page. And he liked it. This initiated a conversation about music that linked us in the deepest way, with revelations like the fact that both of us had purchased "The SIgn" by Ace of Base as our first CD or that we'd both been young pioneers of the early "chatroom era" using Compuserve and ICQ circa 1994. Then we started texting each other in 90's alternative rock lyrics. Needless to say, we decided to hangout and catch-up over drinks at (our spot) Flanigans. Neither of us knew if we were hanging out as friends or something more. But when I saw him, tall as he was (compared to how I remembered him back at Pace), I blushed. And the rest as they say, is history...
