It wasn't intended to be, but I might go back to the setting sometime.

Really good! Is this part of a longer story?

I'm not recognizing the characters, but that doesn't matter. The story works even when I don't know them.

Nice love story.

Same here. The general idea comes through loud and clear.

G'day, David, yes, I can relate to the magic of old TV shows, even before DVDs and color TVs, bringing us together for fun times! Your inspiring and unique story took me down memory lane today, reminding me of favorites like I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and ALF (a few coming to mind), which brought us together when I was single. While I no longer watch TV and have chosen regular digital fasts, I love how you captured the essence of connecting over shared interests, especially when avoiding the tech-obsessed crowd. You have inspired me to share such fond memories here. Here's to finding real connections in a tech-driven world! Dealing with unnecessary digital drama created by immature Facebook algorithms (https://medium.com/illumination/why-facebook-suspended-my-20-year-old-account-abruptly-today-0636d9028789) has made me feel like a digital criminal for caring about real connections rather than fake ones and vanity metrics. Have a lovely weekend, mate. Greetings from Down Under 🦘🍁

"And so, we got together and danced. And we decided to stay together after, from then right up until now."

Aww...loved it!

I love those old TV shows and still turn to the likes of the Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, and others for comfort viewers. Great post.
