*UPDATE* How Well-Off Baby Boomers Have a Good Time

After our departmental Monday morning meeting, my boss made an announcement.  She's engaged! Here are some things she divulged about her beau and their relationship. My prior list began to make more sense.

• He is a doctor in Bryan and part time professor at A&M, but he lives in The Woodlands.
• They met on Match.com.
• He's from Iowa. Since she is from North Louisiana, she appreciates that he understands the farming way of life.
• He asked her 80-something year old mother for her hand in marriage.
• He's been married twice before.
• He has 3 kids. 1 girl from the first marriage and 2 boys from the second.
• Their first date was on November 22 - her birthday.  It was at The Houstonian.
• She's afraid everything is moving too fast, but they are "smitten" and realize they don't have years to beat around the bush. 
• He raised his 3 kids and made a lot of sacrifices for them, so he really wants to travel.  Unfortunately my boss has been everywhere he wants to go :(
• When he asked her to go to the Empire State Building for Valentines Day, he gave her a teddy bear like the one Meg Ryan found on the observation deck in Sleepless in Seattle.
• There is no ring yet. No diamond ring could live up to the one from 3rd husband, so she is thinking a Topaz stone. I've seen the 3rd husband's ring, and its a monster.
• They are both Scorpios
• He was in Vietnam
• He has agent orange scars on his body that she has seen (She hand motioned the chest area. Almost lost breakfast)
• He's Baptist like her. He attends Houston First, but she attends River Oaks. 
• He has a beautiful voice and was a singing Aggie Cadet
• She's not sure where they will live, but she can't imagine living outside the Loop.
