About Us
We first met through a mutual friend at Georgetown. After a few months of hanging out together with our shared friends, we began to spend more time alone together exploring the District and procrastinating in Lauinger Library. Despite a somewhat inelegant first date at the Cherry Blossom Festival, we gave it another try. A little over four years later, we got engaged on the Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis's old Mill District! We can't wait to make it official with y'all!
Οἶον τὸ γλυκύμαλον ἐρεύθεται ἄκρῳ ἐπ᾽ ὔσδῳ
ἄκρον ἐπ᾽ ἀκροτάτῳ λελάθοντο δὲ μαλοδρόπνεσ,
οὐ μὰν ἐκλελάθοντ᾽, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐδύναντ᾽ ἐπίκεσθαι.
Sue Marie Breden
Sue Marie is way more interesting than I could ever hope to be. She assures me that she has impeccable taste and I, being in no position to refute her, rest thusly assured. She had all the cool records before they were cool, and got them all on vinyl after it was cool but before it was cool. Yeah.
She's quick to talk about the things other people do well, but never seems to get around to her own talents. These include, but are not limited to, intrepidity on the frisbee field, a mellifluous singing voice, a discriminating beer palette, general savoir faire, and that wonderful Southern temerity known as "Arkan-sass."
Her main weaknesses are salt, Diet Coke, Cheetos Puffs, Wes Anderson quotes, and Tombs Ale in a frosted mug. Sue Marie believes that baseball begins with Spring Training, which makes sense: starting early is the only way to extend the Cardinals' season.
Sue Marie works for Procter & Gamble in Boston as an account executive on the BJ's Wholesale team.

Nerds are cool too--or at least they were for, like, two years there in the late 2000s. Drew barely survived that frightening period of social interaction, and now his (shy) nerdiness has matured into (quiet) "sagacity."
Though self-described gentleman and scholar both, Drew struggles at times with simple words: museum ("myu-zam"), crayon ("cran"), syrup ("sear-up"), pecans ("pee-cans"), crawfish ("crayfish"), sub ("grinder"), tennis shoes ("sneakers"), and roundabout ("rotary"). I would say it's almost like he's speaking a different language, but he never bothered to learn one that people still speak. Notwithstanding these oral tics, Drew is actually a decent advocate when he bothers to speak at all. He prefers to write and is good at it--but if I talked like that, I would prefer to write too.
Drew thinks that baseball begins on Opening Day. I guess that's because a short baseball season means a long hockey season, and for Drew hockey season means rooting for a fairy tale (see hat).
Drew is a term law clerk in the chambers of the Honorable Alexandra D. DiPentima, Chief Judge of the Connecticut Appellate Court.

Which is more ancient and less likely to return to its prime, Ostia Antica or professional hockey in Hartford?
