I became engaged to the most wonderful woman I've ever known.  I'm an archaeologist, so I took
her to an archaeological site in New Mexico that is located about 300 feet up on a cliff.  It took us
about an hour to hike to the place.  I told her that I needed to reinvestigate a 1 X 1 meter unit that
I had previously excavated in order to gather a bit more data for my dissertation.  While I had her
out looking around for a spike to drive into the ground, I buried the ring.  When she returned, I
gave her a little training, after which she began to help me excavate the unit.  When the little red
leather box was uncovered, she was taken aback - "look, someone has lost something!"  Then she
opened the box, saw the ring, and then it was something like "oh my God!, oh my God!"
