Being Married to Me

In honor of our 21st anniversary today, I am presenting Nancy this list of great things about being married to me. 

This list itself is so great, it probably ought to be on the list.  But I need to save something for next year.



10 Great Things About Being Married to Me

1. Steady supply of $3 DVDs from Big Lots, each one a classic like "Spies Like Us"

2. Yard plants trimmed by hacksaw

3. Helpful critiques on boiling pasta water

4. Vigorous discourse on talent level of Laura Linney

5. Broad exposure to boxing movies

6. Disciplined recycling, including paper sleeves from restaurant straws

7. Spicing up Jane Austen movies by randomly interjecting "Willoughby!  Willoughby!"

8. Translating closing hymn into Spanish with good volume

9. Flushing while still peeing to see "if I can time it right"

10. Daily diet of original song stylings.

As you can see, my love for her, which is pretty much boundless, is manifested in many special ways.  Love you, Nancy.

P.S.  It's a scientific fact. Just put a lid on the pot. It's faster. But first some salt. More.

Super Effort

Great game. Great success for Super Squares, netting over $2,800 for ALA. Thanks to all those who played for helping to support the fight against lung cancer.
Here's a photo of Eamon and his buddy Johnny watching the game. As the jerseys indicate, they were conflicted about which team to root against. One opted for the Pats as the lesser evil, the other for the Giants.

Giants 21, Patriots 17.....FINAL

A million thanks to everyone who played Super Squares and helped make it the most successful Squares fundraiser yet.

And the $250 winners for the fourth quarter payouts:
. Rashid
. Wise
. Jacobi
. J Bo.

And the coaches challenge earned a $10 blitz prize for Gail T.

Of course, the big winners are lung cancer victims assisted by the work of ALA, which this game supported. We will clear over $2,500 to help fight lung cancer. Thanks!
