Exciting and New
When I was … 22 or so, I bought my first house (very young, too young, to be a homeowner, but that’s a whole other story for another time).
It was a small house, built in the 30s. I bought it from the man who built it, which was really cool.
I didn’t know how to decorate my house, because I shouldn’t have even owned a house. I should have been in an apartment somewhere. Again, another story for another time. I decorated it the way a child decorates his dorm room, because that’s about how mature I was.
Anyway, I was at Hollywood Book and Poster or some shop like that, and they were selling cast photos from pretty much every television show that had existed to that point, so I bought a bunch of pictures of the cast from The Love Boat, and I put them in frames all over my house, like they were my family.
Not a lot of people noticed, or got the joke, but this girl I was dating at the time got the joke, appreciated the joke, and has been married to me for twenty years.

I can't help wondering how many people immediately started humming the Love Boat theme song as soon as they saw the title to this article.
Wil -Great post! — Thanks for sharing that personal reflection. I’d say your a very lucky man to find someone (or to have that someone find you) who shared the joke.

Luckily, I grew up. In my current room, I now have posters of metal music concerts and ESA space vehicles. Not many films any more (but some). Also, they are framed instead of pinned. Because I'm an adult now, thank you.
