A most curious conundrum

[spatch]

FACT No. 1. My grandparents met at a religious retreat (church camp) called Deering, nestled up in the hills of southern New Hampshire.
FACT No. 2. My mother and my father met at Deering.
FACT No. 3. My mother and my first stepfather also met at Deering.
FACT No. 4. Deering closed a year before I would have been old enough to go, and I would have gone.

Kinda makes a fellow wonder sometimes, don't it...

When I tell people that I met samantha2074 via the Internet, I've actually had some of them say things like "How sad". I don't know... it doesn't seem sad to me. We don't feel compelled to follow anyone else's notion of what is romantic.

Sometimes I've rushed to emphasize that it didn't fit the stereotypes of Internet geek love: we didn't meet via a personals site, and we didn't spend months or years in an online-only relationship before meeting in real life. But, really, I don't see why those details would even make it worse, given that we're still together after ten years and starting a family.
