Happy Fifth Anniversary Kim & Rad!

Congratulations to my friends Kim and Rad for their fifth wedding anniversary. According to Internet sources *cough! Wikipedia*, this year the gifts are traditionally wood or in the “modern” era, silverware. Both sound rather lame. Wood what? Maybe those cool wooden toys such as building blocks or a duck on wheels for their son Owen to drag around the house. Silverware seems even sillier to me. Kim and Rad were close to my age when they got married so they probably had the joys of consolidating two complete households with numerous redundancies to ditch, including silverware. When will the Miss Manners types update these “gifts” to something cooler such as an engraved iPod or a set of golf clubs? The latter idea would be a bigger hit for my friends, I don’t play unless I have to putt the ball past a windmill.
