The Three Year Rule

My friend Barry White says that a girl can fool you for a year; do not even think about making a commitment in the first year. The second year is where you figure out if she’s the one. Then, he says, at the end of the second year, if you’re sure this is it, you take one more year as a safety factor. On August 10, 2011, throwing all caution to the wind, I decided to forgo the safety. Erin Connolly honored me by accepting my ring. I hope she wears it for 50 years.
