We met at the Charlotte Beer Garden. Brian approached me as I was staring at a huge tree right in the middle of the restaurant, asking if I thought it was real or not. Little did he know it was EXACTLY what I was wondering. (Needless to say, he continues to read my mind these days and continues to surprise me) He stated, if he was wrong, he would buy me a drink. To this day, we still don’t know who was right or wrong. We stayed chatting for hours, even though it felt like minutes. The rest is history.
