I feel a bit guilty mentioning this in light of Bob's situation, but today marks our 35th anniversary. I consider myself very fortunate to have found a woman who shares so many of my views, from my political philosophy (which can be a bit much for some people) to my extreme cheapness (which can be a bit much for other people). And, she is gorgeous still and a really sweet person.

Last night, we went to one of those hibachi steakhouses where they chop up everything and grill it at your table. We were sitting next to a 40-something woman, pretty obviously a single mother, who brought her teenage daughter and the daughter's boyfriend for a birthday celebration. When we exchanged pleasantries, she commented how unusual it was to run into someone who's been married that long today. I consider myself very lucky.

Congrats, SSS. It really is unusual nowadays to last so long. Mrs SSS sounds like a fine person. We just celebrated 38 in Jan. Hope you have many more.

Congratulations, and here's to 35 more. --Bob

Congrats to both of you. That is special these days.

Congratulations from here as well. Nancy and I will go silver in August.

Congratulations to both of you.

The traditional 35th anniversary gift is coral and the modern is Jade. Good luck with that!

I wish I'd known; I would have taken Mrs. SSS to the Golden Coral, er Corral, for dinner.

And, thanks everyone for the kind words.
