  SUbmitted by Sue Anne Kirkham: My husband Jack and I live in Fridley, which is where we first met in high school. We came close to dating back then, but ended up going separate ways, with separate spouses, until - both single again - we re-met at a reunion years later.

  Even after 25 years of marriage, it seems a bit presumptuous to claim to be the world's greatest romance: we didn't exchange love letters across a war-torn continent or have the honor of donating a major organ, one to the other. But we did give each other that cherished second chance to discover true devotion - the kind that survives rebellious stepchildren, career disappointments, the loss of loved ones, and personal health crises; the kind that hangs in there for the ebb and flow between passion and friendship. And that particular blessing may just translate to the best gift this earthly life has to offer: someone who will always, bottom line, invest the time and effort to figure you out, to help you over the rough spots, and to guide you toward your better self.

  I knew the camera-loving Erin Brokovitch was notorious and powerful, but I hadn't realized that she had the authority to deny First Amendment rights to fellow Americans. Very impressive, Ms. B; and very Scary!
