Today is our wedding anniversary, and it's lucky #13. Bonnie say that it's fortuitous that it's in the same month as a Friday the 13th.

We got married on October 30th for a reason -- it was the closest date we could manage that year to Halloween, which is and always will be our favorite holiday. Bigger than Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter, anything else on the calendar. Bonnie and I are just those sort of people.

Anyway, I've been very fortunate to be married to Bonnie as long as I have -- she's put up with a lot of bullshit, through thick and thin. While we're still working on things -- we haven't succeeded or accomplished nearly as much as we set out to when we first started -- we have a lot to show for our efforts: Three great kids and an enormous cat, and a life of great memories.

And proof that when the going gets tough that we've always stuck together, which is more than a lot of couples can say.
