I was in no way prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Like a lot of others, I felt like the...

William Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet, Act II, Scene 2 Usually chapter one means starting at the beginning. Instead I'm going to start in the middle. Depending on what date we pick to celebrate our anniversary Jack, aka Sweetie, and I have been a couple for just over 6 years. A lot has happened in that time.
