After a year or so of chatting on the internet machine, Lee and I decided to meet face to face. Unbeknownst to me, a decision that would show me how beautiful life could be. Lee got to the Starbucks at the midtown Promenade first. It was mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Approaching his table I melted as soon as his face smiled like only Lee's face could do. We sat and talked. The hours ticked by so the natural progression was to grab dinner. We walked back to Apres Diem... a favorite restaurant of both of ours. Lee knew that the restaurant had oysters that were not on the menu. The best oysters I have ever had... and believe me, we tried finding better whenever we saw them on menus over the following years.
