- I was 24, and I had dated approximately 30 people (where "date"
- means that I went out with them more than five times, considered
- us to be in a relationship with their concurrence, and had a
- definite breakup).

- I had considered marrying two other people, but I was stupid to
- have done so. :-) When I started dating the man I was to marry,
- I had this very strong (almost sinking ;-) feeling that This Was
- It, which I had never had with anyone else and have never had
- since. It's kind of that feeling you have when you go over
- that first enormous roller-coaster drop and you realize it's
- too late to get off the ride. :-)
