Meme time! The boy that I married

Well, he was never a boy, to me. Six years older, so he was truly a grownup and I was just a kid out of college. But something clicked for real and for good, and Michael and I are still a duo more than three decades later.

Anyway. I keep running into these fun "memes" (question sets to be shared and passed along) on Facebook. I decided to answer this one here instead.

The meme: "Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. Cut, paste and fill in the answers, then forward. The real challenge is to send it to your husband to see how right you really are."
