We became a couple in the fall of 1992. J was teaching at Rollins College in Florida, on a year to year contract, and looking for a permanent job. This would have been in January of 1994, our first airline trip together, from Orlando to Washington DC, for a conference where he had a laundry list of unproductive interviews. The flight was suppose to pause in Cleveland and go onto DC, someplace between Orlando and Cleveland, Continental decided the flight was not going from Cleveland to DC, and we had an unexpected layover and a late flight onto DC. My one and only trip on Continental.
In Cleveland we stepped outside for a minute, this was long before TSA, and the security was easy. I hadn't seen snow in about 14 years. I remember grabbing a handful and being surprised at how cold it was. I think I still have that Calvin Klein turtleneck. The leather jacket I outgrew.
It's a nice photo and I'm sure full of nice memories.
ReplyDeleteTime flies, we were so young
DeleteGreat photos and sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun trip, it snowed in DC while we were here - walking the Mall in a fresh snow - and there was a dinner out that we will laugh about the bread that just kept coming
DeleteI flew Continental once; my connection was canceled, too. Never again after that.
ReplyDeleteWe got snow here two weekends in a row, on e just a few inches and one just a dusting, but I do like the sight of it and the silence of it,
Snow is fun for an hour or two, then I wish it would go away.
DeleteI wish snow were a novelty to me right now, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have a colleague stranded in Nova Scotia, she went there in March of 2020 for a long weekend to get married.
DeleteAnd in the picture, you remind me of David Arquette.
ReplyDeleteThe best days of my hair
DeleteGreat memories. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still owns 30 year old pieces of clothing. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a navy blue wool sweater that I bought in London in May of 1990, that I love and still wear a couple of times each winter.
DeleteSuch fine, handsome, slightly chilled gentlemen!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by how cold, cold was. J was only a couple of winters away from Minnesota,
DeleteNeat story and pic. We're about to get several inches of that novelty.
