This is one Michael of many that you will meet on my pages, and he was the first one I met in DC!  Michael moved here from Texas about the same time I moved here in 1999, and promptly introduced me to Banana Republic, which made THEM very happy!!!  Michael and I dated for a few months but one of us (I won't say who) figured we'd be better friends than boyfriends.  Since then, he's become a very important part of my life and a very special friend.
