I have told the story here at least two times here, but I’ll tell it again.
About five days after I heard that Shadchan speak about ‘shortening your list’ I met Mrs R. She was a little too short, and a little too Russian, and there were some complications of her divorce that were a little too messy.
But, she was also a little too kind, and a little too warm, and I liked being with her a little too much. Her cooking was a little too tasty, and when I wasn’t with her I missed her a little too much.
So, I married her anyway. That was three months ago, today. (We are still married, and I still love her a little too much.)
