In November of 2001 I was flying from Detroit to Burbank California to house/dog sit for my friend. As always I had a window seat. There was a young computer type geek sitting next to me and a beautiful woman sitting in the aisle seat. Well as usual with a certain airline there was a problem with the plane and we sat on the ground for 2 hours. The three of us started talking and soon that poor man in between was learning a whole lot about women, some of which he might not wanted to know. But a friendship was born that exists until this day. I took this shot on May 25, 2009.
