I told you I was very happy yesterday.  Let me tell you why: I was about to engage my girlfriend.  The crazy part is, later that night she accepted.  I’m not very open about my personal life, so I do not want to give away any details of our relationship other than the way I popped the question.  First we saw left to see a late movie.  It was “sold out.”  Then we looked for a taxi home, but he “got lost.”  He took us through a nice, though unfamiliar neighborhood, claiming it was a shortcut.  Next thing we knew we were on the other side of the Hudson river.

We left the car and I led her a few steps forward to a perfectly placed picnic on the green overlooking the skyline.  So in Liberty State Park, with so many beautiful lights from the skyscrapers and in her eyes, I proposed.

Thanks go to my friends for helping me out.
