    I know some of you are well beyond the years hubby and I have been married, but we hit another big anniversary this year, our 40th.

    We're not really into commemorative knick knack type stuff. I wanted to give hubby something he would actually use. I found this:
    alt text

    He loves it! He wears it often, and enjoys people's reactions.
    It suits him, and it's ... mostly true.
    There are still moments of terror, and they usually begin as,
    "Honey, I have something to tell you."

    It builds character. It seems to be working, because he is definitely quite a character.

      Happy anniversary! We’re a few years behind you but going strong. Today I turn….gulp…..70! Up in Columbus with Janet, my brother and his wife having fun. Daughter has been in Las Vegas for two years now. I’m still consulting part time and loving it.

        Happy birthday, Mik!!! That's definitely a milestone, too.

        I am hoping to retire in a year. I can't say much about my work, because it would be too identifying. I have enjoyed it immensely for over 20 years, with it overlapping my time teaching. It's time though. I'm ready.

        Hubby was shocked when I told him I want to retire next year. He wanted me to wait until he would also hit the right age to retire. I reminded him that I am older than he is. That was a strange and funny moment. I expect he will want to retire shortly after I do. I can see his mind working it out how to time it.
