We are a 21st century couple – having met online via match.com. Michael was the quintessential Catholic boy, merely looking for a summer fling, while Roy was a devout Buddhist, searching the Universe for "the one." We had a first date at a sushi restaurant in Noe Valley. Roy was a software engineer, while Michael was working in non-profit philanthropy. Michael was into Showtunes, Roy, Star Trek. Roy knew what an Allen wrench was, Michael admired Debbie Allen. Michael was a city boy in the Castro/Mission area, Roy led a life in suburban Millbrae. We connected. Our first date was a cerebral affair, with formal discussions on our differing backgrounds and religions. We dispensed with all that on our second date, with lively banter on who had the larger collection of bathroom products. Shortly thereafter, we went on our first camping trip together to Yosemite. Over the years, we’ve visited our families in the Philippines, Portugal, Australia and the East Coast, and we’ve had many journeys since then.
