Today is our 11th year wedding anniversary. We have a babysitter coming over this afternoon so Karen and I will go see a movie and then go out to dinner. I forgot didn’t have time this week to get a card for her though. When I was teaching at MCAD, I had a bit more flexibility in my schedule but working an eight hour day now has made it a bit more difficult to run the errands I used to be able to spur of the moment. This morning I told her that and that made her quite happy. Her direct reply was, “Ha, now you know how it feels!”

I suppose it was probably the best present I could have given her today. Mind you last year she forgot that it was our tenth year anniversary. Actually, she also forgot that it was our anniversary. I did give her a card last year. I think I’m still ahead.

btw the traditional 11th year anniversary present is steel.
