It was *very* strange to meet Eric through an online personal, having as much in common as we did (living four blocks away from each other, having gone to college in Athens at the same time, having mutual friends in Baltimore, etc) and never having met before. And that was lots of fun while it lasted, for the most part. And he did give me that fabulous bathtub.

Ultimately, if the best that can be said about my advenutes in online dating was that I got a free free cast-iron clawfoot bathtub out of the deal, I really can't complain.
