Good luck Rich!
Today our good friend Rich heads out cross-country on a 21 day motorcycle adventure. I envy him the experience. He's going to see some amazing things on his trip. He's a great rider so I'm not worried about him as far as that goes. He has built up enough good Karma points to ensure some great weather along the way so that should work out for him too. Check out his blog to see where he is along the way,

God speed Rich, and be careful out there!

Another year, another Anniversary..
22 years July 22.. Amazing how fast the time has gone by. Laurie and I have had our share of trama, drama, good, and bad times for sure over these many years, but we are still here.
Honestly, I don't know how she manages to put up with me. I have the attention span of a 5 year old, and as I get older I get more forgetful all the time it seems. She thinks I don't listen to her, but actually I do. It's just that sometimes I forget the important details-like what she told me yesterday that we are going to have for dinner today, what time she is going to work, and where I'm supposed to be going sometimes. I tell her it's because my brain is full and I don't have room and stuff just falls out, but she doesn't believe me.
We have survived our daughter's car crash, the sudden move of the other daughter to California, her son's move to Georgia, and having to give up the granddaughter that lived with us from birth until she was almost 5. It's been rough at times, but she loves me and I love her so we keep plugging along. I guess after being together for 26 years and married for 22 we have reached the point of "grudging acceptance", but it's cool. We fit. I tease her that the modern 22 year anniversary gift is "sharp pointy things" but we had a great day running around together and buying peaches to make preserves and just hanging out together.
Isn't that what it's all about at the end of the day anyway? Here's to another 22+ years with you babe!
