The second-longest married couple I know celebrated a huge landmark last Wednesday. It made me think about that long weekend up in Milwaukee and how cold I was! I didn’t pack correctly, foolishly forgetting it’s still chilly, especially at night after being accustomed to the heat of Austin. This year, we haven’t even cracked 100 F so I would probably need to bring a Winter coat in Milwaukee today.
OK, let’s see what the gift is for 20 years…china, sure, expensive dishes; modern says platinum (something more expensive than gold, nice), emeralds, yellowish diamonds. I think the best choice would be going to a kick-ass Chinese restaurant, something really Chinese, not PF Chang’s or Panda Express. A joint operated by actual Chinese people who bring their cuisine. Around Austin, more often, Koreans run the Asian-based restaurants. Which is fine, their food is similar and mostly the stuff is more a gauntlet of what the people eat around the whole continent. Like those Vegas buffets showing off all the dishes Europeans from Spain to Russia eat.
With the big day being in the middle of the week, I’m certain Tammy and Nelson are celebrating this weekend. The kids do something nice to acknowledge the occasion. Meanwhile, Uncle Maggi scurries to get a nice card dropped off into the mail!
Congratulations you two!
