Janet moved to Lodi for her teaching position at Tokay High School. The small town was a huge attraction for Janet. Although she didn't know anyone, she didn't let that stop her from finding something to do and making friends. The farmers markets on Thursdays were busy with people and food trucks. She found a nice place to sit and eat discovering that Stooges Bar served her drink of choice, Angry Orchard. Janet started to frequent the establishment and found the employees to be nice, especially one in particular. Jesse working at Stooges for almost 6 years as a bartender and part time bouncer, started to notice a tall "sexy" red-head that would come in and dance or sit at the bar grading school work. He struck up a conversation with Janet asking her what she did for work and got a kick out of the fact she taught sex education & drivers ed. One night when Janet was walking by Jesse she "hip checked" him saying Hi -IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT HE WAS INTERESTED AND WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS 'UNICORN' IN LODI. Soon after Janet noticed an ad on the bar TV that Jesse's birthday was approaching and she told him that she would swing by and celebrate with a shot. When Janet showed up, Jesse was there with all his friends, but he stopped to give her a big hug (picking her up) -IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT JANET WAS INTERESTED AND WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS 6'2" GIANT OF A TEDDY BEAR WHO COULD PICK HER UP SO EASILY. They shared some drinks, Jesse introduced Janet to more of his friends and when trying to make room at the bar for others Jesse "gorilla pulls" Janet's stool closer to him -IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT, JESSE'S FRIENDS KNEW HE WAS MARKING HER AS HIS. At the end of the night Jesse got Janet's number and invited her to a Seafood Boil the following Sunday and then a date to Monterey Bay Aquarium the next week. The rest is history.
