I took her to Taco Viva (RIP) ("When you say taco, say Viva!") in Sunrise, Fla., for lunch. A few months later, I graduated from high school and we lost touch for 26 years until we reconnected in 2008. Together now for more than 17 years (and married for three months).
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?

I'm not buying the "cartel drones" excuse for the airspace shutdown over El Paso. One, that happens with some regularity, and two, why would they issue a ten-day shutdown, effectively paralyzing a major metropolitan area for days?!
