Lest we forget the hardscrabble life Paul and Leeann led as newlyweds.... Hot evenings on the porch cooling off with some Busch Light; Paul's job at the manure plant; Leeann's late-night shifts on the ore docks. Times were tough, but they always had each other. And overalls and cut-offs. And cut-off overalls.

Few people also seem to recall Paul's groundbreaking first marriage to John Myers. While their union was never officially recognized (as it was deemed just a bit "too icky" by the state of Minnesota) at the time, Paul and John share a beautiful bond that lasts to this day (*Just don't tell Leeann).

Back when the Adamses were mere zygotes, they took one of the most adorable pictures we've ever seen. To which we say, "What the hell happened?" Oh, just the immutable march of time; years of gin guzzling; mile after agonizing mile of mall shopping; bitter days on end in a musty Baltimore newspaper office and child-birth. All kidding aside, they still take the best pictures of any couple we know.

One thing I think everyone ... no, wait, TWO things I think everybody appreciates about Leeann is her, well, er, um ... I'm talking of course about her smile and her laugh. Geez. What did you think I was talking about!?! Pervs. Oh, what the hell... How can you NOT mention these things when we're talking about Leeann!?!

Which brings me to this particular photo. It was taken in the summer of 2007 while we were on vacation in the Outer Banks. We were visiting Jockey's Ridge State Park near Kitty Hawk -- home to the largest sand dunes on the East Coast. Tragically, a family from Des Moines mistook Leeann's breasts for a portion of the park. They were beginning to make the trek from one mighty peak to the other when they apparently slipped "into the void." They have not been heard from since.

If You're Selling, I'm Buying

The girl can shop -- anytime, anywhere. Finds on this trip included a petrified piece of goat's poo and a sarong that said "Conseguí borracho en la República Dominicana" across the ass.

Feel the love, people. Happy Valentine's Day.
