There are certain seminal events in each of our lives that give it shape and meaning. At this Christmas party, I was given a new nickname: The Legend. I shall forever be grateful.
The man, whom I now call my friend Ron, hired me in my first job out of college and now lives in this house with the best porch in the “Riverside” district in Jacksonville, Florida. I must say that the 3 best Christmas parties I’ve been to in my adult life have all been planned/hosted by him — the man knows how to do it right and I’m happy to call him my friend.
At some point during the party, I walked over to where Denis was talking to another gentleman. As I neared, Denis saw me coming and said, “This is my husband now.” At this point, the gentleman looked at me and said, “Oh, you’re The Legend.” He instantly became my best friend for life. Seriously, I think I’m going to have to get a shirt and new business cards made up!
