Hey, I left a note on green paper, neatly tucked into your studio door, wondering if you'd like to date.

That was before I googled your name (sorry) and realized you already have a beautiful little family and a busy life.

I liked meeting you. —J.M.

What a storm! It blasted us, POW, right up the wazzoo. Walloped and whamed, roared and raged, growled and groaned and left us with snow banks and backs soar from shoveling. Our landlord worked through the night with his snow soldier mercenaries. After bobcats, blowers, powerful plows and sufficient saliation we awoke to find a gorgeous winter wonder land draped in marshmellowy icing, a frosted word where everyone was burried... except us. We had a clear parking lot with blacktop showing, clear stairs, and carefully hand cleared around our cars. All that was left for us was our own vehicles hoods and windows. This tireless champion of a landlord is no strapping young man full of piss and vinegar to burn, but his heart apparently still is. Before I used to quietly nod a hello as I passed, and now when I see is silvery hair bobbing in the back alley toiling away I am honored to go out of my way and happily shake his hand. Many thanks! —Thougtful Each Night Atlantic Ns Turns Stormy

I am over rocky mountains in love with you
I am across great plains in love with you
I am through vast rivers and lakes in love with you
I am cold days upon bitter nights travel in love with you
I am battling storm and ice and darkness in love with you
I am from one oceans salty shore to the next in love with you
I came so far to say simple words

Will you...?

And you, breathlessly, said:

…yes

To the wonderful lady driving the number one. You are driving on terrible icy roads yet manage to be both a awesome driver and STILL have a smile on your face. People like you make this terrible weather a little more bearable. I wish every bus driver was even half as rad as you. Stay awesome. —Thankful passenger

Usually I complain about the plows adding to my shovel duties. Tonight, after 45 minutes of shoveling, the big plow came and, as usual, destroyed much of my efforts. BUT 5 minutes later the little plow came and zigged instead of zagged and took an extra minute to clear the end of my driveway. And the driveway of my other shoveling neighbor. From despair to elation. Thank you Mr. Plow! —GMonnaie

To the couple piggybacking eachother down Oxford Street in the middle of the blizzard: you guys are adorable! You braved the storm in the most badass, cute, and hilarious way. I hope you got to your destination safe and sound #maritime #winter #winning —Happy as can be

To the cabbie who took us in when we noticed no one was going for you, and for the lovely couple who were friends with my man who paid for our ride to Dartmouth when I realized I only had debit, thank you! After the horrid night I was having, you made my entire evening. Not having to wait outside for an hour for a ride, or stop at an ATM, I slept three different times New Years day in my own warm, comfy bed thanks to you. I will be eternally grateful. —Little black dress

You struck up a conversation with me by the sweet potatoes at a Quinpool road grocery store. You have a friendly smile and seem like a nice fella! I wish I had introduced myself and given you my number, but I was feeling shy. Hoping to cross paths in the produce section again! —Purple Pom-pom

Shortly after midnight at the Marquee, New Year's Eve, as I was waiting for my jacket to be brought up. I was waiting at the top of the stairs. You came to me and made a joke about being part of a train because of the way your friends were following you. I commented on how popular you must be. You told me your name, it starts with a B, you were walking away now to "over there" and that I will never remember you when you walk away. Well, I remember you, and if I wasn't leaving I would have went over there "other side of the bar" with you. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your night, The Stanfield's know how to put on a good show. Happy New Year —Black dress and ridiculously high shoes
