Today is the fifteenth anniversary of my wedding to my lovely wife, Sherry.

While, God willing, there are many decades to go, I will say that fifteen seems like a serious number of years to have been married.

Indeed, we have managed the following (among other things) in the last fifteen years:

• Produced three wonderful boys.
• Lived in three states (although, granted, we were only in California as husband and wife for a week, and almost all of that was spent on our honeymoon).
• Lived in two countries on two continents.
• Moved a grand total of eight times (and, as such, I can testify that moving bites).
• Had two dogs and two cats (and numerous fish—which, for some reason, we can’t keep alive).
• Managed to get me through a doctoral program and into a tenured position.

Not bad for fifteen years. Heaven only knows what comes next.

At any rate: a very Happy Anniversary to my lovely bride.

(And btw: you know you are a hardcore blogger when you can directly tie your anniversary into your blogging. To wit: Permanent Guest Blogger^TM was Best Man at our wedding. Further, an user from our wedding will be doing some guest-blogging as well next week while we are on vacation—announcements on that matter soon to follow).

Note: I thought that this was posted first thing this morning. However, something happened (operator error, not doubt) that resulted in it not being up for some reason. Ah well.

   Steven L.:

   Come to think of it, there are two restaurants I know of that have free WiFi, but I am thinking I had better leave the laptop at home. Plus, neither are upscale enough for an anniversary dinner.

   Getting you through the doctoral program alone should count for five extra years!

   Happy 20th 15th!
