This is a revolutionary armband that I sometimes like to wear so that I don't forget that our anniversary is on July 26. Even now, five years later, I still have to look in the dictionary in order to correctly spell the word 'marriage'. (Do we still have the 5oo announcements I made to let people know about our impending 'marraige'?) As we got to know each other we found out that our unique strengths complement eachother to form a more perfect whole (for example, we found that I'm smarter and she's a faster swimmer: In a biathlon relay involving aquatics and verbose prognostication we would do quite well.) Luckily, I proposed before they changed the meatball recipe at Wegmans (Note to Wegmans: The post 2002 meatballs are a tad heavy on the garlic - actually more than a tad I'd say). We had a wonderful wedding and festivities (Joanie: next time you get married and have a wedding reception on a military base try to remember to have proper ID so as to be admitted to the party.)We moved to Seneca Falls, NY (The birthplace of both Womens' rights and the Mormon Church???) Where we lived for one year in the old Third Ward School building (no insulation in the walls or ceiling). Then we moved back to Ithaca for two years where Luca was born ('naturally', thanks to that area's general cultural proclivity toward eating too much granola). The fact that Luca had the same pediatrician that was present at my birth caused me to have a great epiphany that moving away from my birth city might be healthy (the full course of said epiphany taking 9 months to play itself out - I'm sorry joanie) . This landed us in Baltimore Maryland where James was born (Joanie, Where would you like to have our next baby be born?) I can say with confidence that these last five years have included the four best years of my life.
