The wife and I have been together 21 years, and we always celebrated June 1 as our anniversary. But we actually only married three years ago on May21. SO May 21 is out "official" anniversary, but it doesn't outdo the other 18 years of tradition. Says that old traditionalist: me.

About a year after the wedding, we realized as the dates were approaching that we needed to decide just what was to be our anniversary date. SO we launched...

ANNIVERSATHON

Starting May 21 and lasting through June 1, we celebrate our whatever the hell it is we have. And yes, by the time 5 days of it have passed we are pretty sick of ourselves. We exchange little gifts and gestures every day. Sorta like Hannukah. or maybe more like Kwanza since it is a made up event.

Opening round: she got me a Ferrari, bright red of course. it is a hot wheels toy, but still it says Enzo Ferrari on it. From me she got her own personal pouch of My Little Pony fruit snacks. I had threatened to get her the Ninja Turtles ones. And I brought home a key lime cheesecake, AND I DIDN'T EAT THE WHOLE THING. Last night I got a train schedule from 1942. I'm a railroad freak. ANd for her, she got some Italian treats: prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, olives. And I fooled her, I already had the Ninja Turtles fruit snacks, so she got them too.

It either ramps up to cooler stuff, or kinda fizzles out into dinner. We never know.

We had a pre-ANNIVERSATHON treat SUnday, we went and wore ourselves out wandering the East Lansing Art Festival. It is like the Ann Arbor festival, but not as large. We like it. We just wish people would not bring their dogs to these outdoor crowded events.

My sister wanted to know what the third anniversary was, paper? I told here I thought it was beef jerky or maybe figs. But you never know what might happen. After all, Elvis sang at our wedding. Yep right there in the driveway of the drive-through chapel in Las Vegas. We are quite the Elvis fans these days.

I had forgotten we shared an anniversary. You guys got married on my 10th anniversary. Congrats!

(We wanted Wenzo to have web-cam set up for the wedding, darn it!)

Well happy 13th then!!!

Today she gave me a Pez dispenser. I gave her socks. But not just any socks, these were ORGANIC socks. Said so right on them, "ORGANIC" stitched right across the toes.

70% "organic" cotton to go with the nylon, the lycra, and some other plastic...

Enzo, I don't quite remember what happened, but a few weeks ago, Jimmy and I said something and we both laughed before pausing when I said, "We really are going to be the next Enzo/Wenzo team..."

Last Nov. 5, he and I celebrated our first MEETAVERSARY. That is, of course, of the day we met. We traded illegally copied CDs. Fun time.

How long did it take for you to look like Santa, again?

Happy anniversaries, folks! Happy 3rd/21st, Enzo! (Though I'm still scratching my head over the organic socks. So they were grown without pesticides?) Happy lucky 13th, Troubleagain! (And happy really, really late meativersary, hippie and Jimmy, but it's going to be a very long time before either of you look like Santa.)

My thoughts precisely! :P :P :P

Yeah, yeah. I was caught up trying to decide whether it should be spelled 'meetiversary' or 'meetaversary'. Looks like I went with none of the above. :oops:

We decided to spell it with an A because it sounded better with MEET than I would. Yep.

US Grant - on the $50 bill - takes a few months.

RObert E Lee takes a couple years

Santa takes three or more

ZZ Top takes a lack of attention entirely

Today I received a set of Curious George party lights. I am a huge fan of party lights, I have tons of them.

Not sure what to give the old lady today, I will select from the prize escrow when I get home.

Careful, we know each others material so well, we are at that finish each others sentences stage. And all I have to do is nod towards something, and she knows why I think it is funny. It is frightening.

Congratulations to one and all; Mrs B and I will celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary at the end of the month, we first met at school in 1978 and "met" in 1980.

Dear god, how did I get to be this old? :shock:

Happy anniversary wishes all around!!!! :)

Way to go, Ba'. best wishus to you and the missus.

( And best wishes to you and the misses.)

Wedding anniversary yesterday so we went out to dinner at a nice italian restaurant, very nice food, witty conversation etc.

Mrs B ordered a pavlova dessert, when the waitress brought it I got as far as: "Is that a . . ." before Mrs B silenced me with a look. I think she had heard it before. Oh well, you have to try.

Then on the way out we saw Sean Connery and his wife tucked into an alcove having dinner. Which was surprising since it is just an ordinary straightforward restaurant. (Centotre in George Street since you ask, and yes, it is number 103.)

So an excellent meal and we saw James Bond. Result.

My old lady has heard all my material too, but she hasn't figured out how to shut me up yet. She just hits me after I deliver it.

And a happy anni to you too.
