My first tubiversary

Saturday will mark the one-year anniversary of the installation of my hot tub. I can't believe it! Funny thing is, we had a blizzard about then too. I think we have one every March, we just try to forget about it.

First, I've learned that "stuff" doesn't really make me happy in a meaningful way, but this is one object that has been able to consistently change my mood, center me and ground me. The thing that seemed like a stupid single guy thing to buy at the time has been a smart has-a-girlfriend and likes to relax thing to buy ever since. Getting through winter has been easier in part because I can be outside under a clear sky while naked. Despite the purchase regret at the time, it now ranks as one of the smartest things I've ever purchased. Tax refund well spent.

The more interesting thoughts surrounding the anniversary of the purchase are more with my state of mind a year ago. I read my blog posts and I seemed annoyed with the world (more so than usual), and the dating thing was really bringing me down. Also ironic, Diana was delivered as an eHarmony match on March 6, though we'd go almost three months before meeting because she was in Florida with her mom in her final weeks. I can't believe she stuck with it that long to meet me, and then stay with me after taking her to Coastermania. The horror!

Anyway, what made me think of it is that I put some bromine in the thing today because it's been unreachable for about two weeks, buried under snow. I was worried it would have changed color or smelled funny or something, but it seems OK.

Hey, March 6th was the day I joined CampusFish. How come you didn't mention that? ;)

I'm sorry, I'm trying to make the connection between the "Asian girls for love & marriage" ad being served by Google and this post. What was your question?
