How did you meet your husband? Rumor had it that a bright, slightly older unemployed Cornell dropout had entered my college social sphere. Word had it that he was mythologically attractive and heroic. Just my type. Fortunately my roommate knew him and introduced us and, lucky for him, he had wonderful and refined tastes in women. We connected. It was magical.
