\"burning-love\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As is our custom, Tina and I exchange cards that we make ourselves on special occasions, and this is a fairly special occasion. 20 years ago, Tina and I went on our first date.<\/p>\n

So how did that go?<\/p>\n

\"6-29-inside\"<\/a>Truth be told, the photo I used above was not from that first date. It would have been insane to wear a turtleneck and a jacket in late June in Philadelphia. I just liked the picture.<\/p>\n

\"Tina-and-Joe-90s\"<\/a>On the outside of the card, I used my favorite picture of Tina.<\/p>\n

\"Tina-w-red-glasses\"<\/a>She’s wearing a fabulous pair of prescription glasses I bought for myself in 1987 which cost me all of $40. (Those days are gone!) Tina looked better in the glasses than I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[18,4],"tags":[248,166,266,5,66,6],"class_list":["post-13588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-drawer-cards","category-news","tag-248","tag-anniversary","tag-card","tag-joe-williams","tag-photoshop","tag-tina-garceau"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1ed1x-3xa","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":15007,"url":"https:\/\/willceau.com\/news\/2013\/11\/30\/happy-birthday-joe\/","url_meta":{"origin":13588,"position":0},"title":"Happy Birthday Joe!","author":"Tina Garceau","date":"November 30, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"This year's card is a take-off of the game Mystery Date for all you young bucks out there.
