Eight years of marriage

Who said it wouldn’t last? Based upon where we got married, probably some Las Vegas bookies giving lucrative odds. Give it time though, they may allow futures betting on such silly matters. Right now, the sportsbooks are experimenting with wagers on non-sporting events such as the World Series of Poker (betting on which gambler will win), American Idol and its ilk.

Due to work and our recent vacation, we’ll probably have a delayed, more subdued celebration. A nice dinner mainly.

This year, the gift is bronze, pottery, linens or lace. Who comes up with this crap? The first two seem to be gifts you give people living during the height of the Roman Empire centuries ago. The latter two belong to the Victorian Era.

Wiredappears to be on the money but we have too many dice. I will have to go with the next best thing in the vein of dice, the rulebooks for Somara or the electronic equivalent to put on her inevitable iPad.

Meanwhile, remember to save the date around this time in two years. We hope to have a renewal ceremony in Las Vegas for all those who missed out the first time.

I want to close with an amusing cartoon about how I was lucky enough to avoid any of the eight possibilities. Warning, it’s probably NSFW. Jeremy gets the only exception due to his current gig working for a Web-host company.
