    we will have to wait, i have exactly ZERO pictures from the rally......

    let's just say it involved a ring, a girl i've been dating longer than some of my friends have been married and a very "picturesque" spot along some muddy river in the back woods of Tennessee.

    Well then, CONGRATS!

    It has been over 40 years since I got "engaged" and it gets better with each passing day. Wish you two the same.

    With all of glorious New York at your front door, you chose some random spot on some random road along some random river in Tennessee during a motorcycle rally? Really?

    You two are perfect for each other.

    So, you rode her out to the middle of nowhere and reminded her that an answer of "No" would mean a long walk home?



    Congragts. I heard you were there, but missed you and Scott, the other person I wanted to meet.
