Anniversary!

Today is the 9th for myself and the wife.

You’ll pardon the lack of my usual Thursday post, I hope. For Free Thursdays, for the folks without Anniversaries:

OK Cupid’s blog. Specifically, 10 charts about sex. OK Cupid’s blog posts with graphs about their dating population are routinely hilarious. I’m blessed that I’m not trolling these for tips.

    • (This is Patrick’s anniversary. Jaybird and Maribou’s isn’t until next month. Their anniversary is also either the 13th or 14th. Jaybird should find out.)

      • This is what google calendar is for. To remember these for you.

          • Funny, I had you pegged as more-newly married than that.

            I have no idea where this “pegging” came from, except the magic space inside my head where I fill in gaps in what I know about other people with wild-ass assumptions that usually turn out to be, well, okay, not entirely inaccurate.

            I’ll try to remember it for next time, but I’m a horrible liar.

            On the latest Prairie Home Companion, during the “dedications” time or whatever it’s called, there was one from a husband to his wife, thanking her for 40 years of bliss on their 50th wedding anniversary.

            I probably won’t try that one either when the time comes.
