How We Met

Dana and Doug met playing broomball, although they don’t know exactly the first time this happened. However, the second time they interacted during broomball was after a December night spent playing in the North End. Doug had re-introduced himself, having forgotten their previous exchange, and immediately felt embarrassed at this. Doug made a mental note not to repeat this error. At the game’s conclusion, Dana didn’t have exact change to pay, which can be told with another elaborate story about finding a large amount of cash on the ground over the previous weekend. On their way out (her to the “T” and he to his car), Doug asked what Dana was going to do with all of the extra cash. Dana off-handedly responded that she would probably buy a lifetime supply of Cheetos (who wouldn’t?!). The following weekend, Dana and Doug found themselves outside of Veterans Memorial Rink in Somerville, once again too early for a pickup broomball session. So naturally, they got to chatting. As everyone else started to arrive to play that night, Doug pulled out a bag of Cheetos for Dana, just in case she ran out. From that evening on, Doug started giving Dana rides to and from broomball (she conveniently almost lived on the way anyway), and spending time together off of the ice. Later that winter they started dating – or as Dana’s roommate Lenna explained, “he’s been upgraded” – and the rest is history.
