Wow 14 years!

Yesterday was my 14th wedding anniversary. 9/10/88. Took the night off from the computer. Seems like just yesterday that I married my blushing bride. Other days it seems like we have been married forever. Now I mean that in the best way, don't you ever feel about a friend or loved one that you have JUST gotten to know them but have also known them all your life? Well that is the way with my wife and I for me.

We have had our ups and downs. The downs have been pretty heavy and fairly personal so I won't go into details. The ups have been the perfect Yang to the Yin of the downs, or is that the other way around? We didn't have our son till we had been married for 5 years and didn't buy a house till we had been married for 10. In fact it was our 10th wedding present to ourselves. (Kind of makes it hard to top with something at 15, maybe we will renew our vows).

Overall, and in relation especially to my parent's generation and others in my generation, we have had a very stable and loving marriage. In fact I would say that each year is more comfortable that the last. I guess we are very lucky.

So 14 yrs is gold or ivory. Being very PC I didn't see any point in killing elephants to celebrate my anniversary so I went with the gold.

The best thing I can say about anyone's upcoming nuptials is that "I hope you are as lucky as I to have married your best friend".

Be good.

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
