It took me years to determine what you probably did for a residing. All I knew was you labored at a giant, intimidating workplace/manufacturing unit and also you wore a swimsuit every single day.

I nonetheless bear in mind the primary time you requested me in case your tie went along with your shirt; it made me really feel so essential, that you just’d ask for my opinion.

Quickly we had been all watching collectively, similar to we watched Star Trek and Evening Courtroom and Monty Python collectively. The subsequent 12 months you introduced us to my very first conference – a Physician Who conference.
(I prefer to assume my geeky lineage got here full circle when John and I introduced you and Mother to Dragon*Con – thus beginning a yearly custom, maybe?)
