She said yes!

The Baltimore lady and I are engaged!

We spent the last week in San Juan, Puerto Rico with my extended family and last Tuesday we took a night off from my family to have a date. We went out for Habbachi at a place called Cherry Blossom, and she had her first experience with theatrical cooking and enjoyed it immensely. We took a cab back to the hotel, and it started to rain on the way home. I had been telling her about this illuminated pier by the hotel where you could see the fish swim at night, and she wanted a walk on the beach. I was concerned as we walked out of the hotel because, despite the rain, I saw several people hanging out on the pier. But the rain drove them off, and by the time we got to the pier the rain had stopped and we had it to ourselves. While she looked out over the mini-reef and fish-gazed into the night's ocean, I got my ring out of my backpack. I got down on one knee and asked her to be my wife. She said yes, went went for a long, joyous, and romantic walk on the beach and started to call our families. We ended up dancing with my family, sharing tears of joy with my grandmother and her mother and sisters, and celebrating the creation of a new third thing out of belligerati's alter ego and the Baltimore girl.

Other highlights of the trip included jet skiing twice (including once with Richard Dreyfuss and his family), visiting one of the largest cave systems in the world, El Yunque rain forest, the Bacardi distillery, Old San Juan, finding beer in a all Spanish language supermarket, and lots of swimming in the ocean and pool (the ocean was warmer!).
