taxidermist. He informed me that I will need to find someone else going forward because he is retiring. He is around my age and I am absolutely nowhere near retirement.

Turns out the woman he was dating for a year and a half, and then he married her texted him a few days before their wedding... she shot him some gps coordinates and asked him to meet her at that location. He showed up to a gated ranch on hundreds of acres in central Texas. She proceeded to tell him that she owns the property and inherited it along with millions of dollars after her father passed away. Asked him to forgive her for withholding the information but wanted him to move in with her when they got married instead of his place and wanted to make sure he loved her for her. He was okay with that.

Some guys have all the luck.
