Now We Are Eighteen

[madrobins]

As of about 11am PDT (2pm EDT) the Spouse and I have been married for eighteen years. We went out to an excellent neighborhood restaurant for dinner (without the young, who stayed home and ate pizza) and took a walk, then came home to watch X-Men United on TV with the younger girl (who, having seen the new X-Men movie yesterday is rabid to see all the movies and partake of any scraps of X-trivia I can dish up--she is so impressed that I published an X-Men story some years ago!). I have to say that, for all the drama, a nice long marriage to a funny, smart, empathic and energetic person has a lot to recommend it. Happy anniversary, sweetie.
