Twenty years ago today I married my wife, Teresa. Looking back over all these years, I have to say that, generally speaking, it was a good move.
On my part, anyway. She may have different ideas on the matter.
But, as a regular consumer of popular entertainment and the more colorful types of newspapers, I have come to realize how remarkably lucky I have been and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank her for being such a unique, wonderful person.
She has never once, to my knowledge, starred in a sex tape with an aging rock star, a b-list actor, or a Czechoslovakian gymnast. I don't think she even knows who Paris Hilton is.

Dear god you are a lucky man.

Chris, happy annniversary. I loved the last line. Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
quote: She has no plans to get on the 2008 presidential ticket, at this time.
The "at this time" addition was classic!
But you left out how she makes great Firefly/Serenity Barbies! (OK, so she probably makes other kinds of Barbies too but that's all I've seen links to.)
Happy Anniversary.

My sentiments exactly.

As it happens our views on yardwork also match our views on housework.
BTW, we don't have any earth-shakingly romantic plans for this week -- although today is our 20th wedding anniversary and Friday is our 25th year together -- because we were going to get away to a luxury hotel for the weekend and just enjoy the room service and amenities, but then a) she had cervical laser surgery and isn't feeling especially romantic yet, and b) both of us got laid up with bronchitis a week ago and there's nothing like uncontrollable coughing fits to buzzkill the mood.
Fortunately we're patient folk. I did get Scott and Erica to announce our anniversary on the Orlando radio station that Teres listens to in the mornings, MIX 105.1. The look on her face was priceless...

At the end of each sentence, I found myself mentally inserting "...to the best of my knowledge." Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Me, too.

Great article, particularily the last line....I always say something similar about my Jenni and me.

That made me cry. A little. And laugh. A bit more than the crying.
That was very romantic, Chris. Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :

If anyone's interested in hearing my voice -- shudder -- I was playing with our new recording stuff and recorded this week's column, pretty much for the heck of it. Here's the link.
