Tomorrow Patty and I celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. I hope I can get my car out of the parking lot: the exit has been blocked these past two days by one of our town’s innumerable construction projects. I want to go down to Keyport and fetch us some really nice seafood for our anniversary dinner. So I’ll have to hustle to get a Newswithviews column written today.
As Scrooge’s nephew Fred said of his marriage, “It was the making of me.” I wouldn’t be me without my other half, without my wife. My work is all made possible by hers. Capt. Kirk can’t do bupkus with the Enterprise unless Scotty’s got the engines working. For us there wouldn’t even be an Enterprise without her. But the metaphor is in danger of being overextended.
Well, I don’t want to get all mushy today. The sun has come out, and so should I: work to be done.
Have a wonderful anniversary! 🙂
Already? It seems like just last year . . . 🙂
Congrats to you both and it’s great to see someone that truly appreciates their spouse.
Yeah, it was last year that Shop Rite said they’d have our lobsters all ready for me to pick up–and didn’t. You only get one 40th anniversary: wit you well, I was marvellous wood wroth.
Have a wonderful anniversary celebration tomorrow. Our 42nd is today.
Enjoy it, Marge! And thanks.
Congratulations! A blessed day for a devoted couple.
How wonderful – enjoy!! My 41st Anniversary is this November, and I feel the same way about my beloved wife.
Wow! You’re the second reader today whose 40+ anniversary is this year.
Congratulations! I hope you and Mrs. Duigon will have a happy anniversary!
