And now, after a heart attack (me), cancer (her), and megaton attacks of paperwork, on we go.

We may be 6000 miles apart today, but we're never really apart.

Not in this life.

I know it was the 1990s, but I'm not feeling that white-on-white tie thing...

Believe me, I needed instructions. It had been 18 years since the last time, and I had forgotten what went where, and in what sequence. Still, the Gridiron dinner is way cool, so I put up with it.

I'm sure it's tough being apart on this special day...........but as you say, you're never really apart.

I wish you both many, many more happy anniversaries!

We didn't exactly draw the best cards in that department. But we're both pretty good at "Beat The Reaper."

Got a nice scare today. I got a text from my daughter, the one who lives in Germany, asking if I had hard the news about her.

I freaked out, and said no, and called over there. She was making the last preparations to pack her mom's stuff and drive her home to northern Germany. She slipped on the floor of one of the rooms and broke her wrist. She has already been operated on, and has a steel plate inserted in her wrist. Pow, just like that. I called her up in her hospital room, and she said she was in some pain, but "shit happens." That's some shit we could do without, but she's a social worker. She dealt with people who were addicts or out of work for years or homeless. She maintain her perspective, one of the things I have always so admired about her.
