Sorry for a completely off-topic post, but today is a special day for me, and I just have to let everyone know. Today is my 25th wedding anniversary. On December 19, 1982, Andrea & I started our life together, and are still going strong with three grown children & 1 granddaughter.
We celebrated our anniversary last month; following another two week business trip to Switzerland, we took a week vacation to Italy. We visited Florence, Pisa, and several Tuscan hill towns. Here's a few pictures of us:
Chateaux Chillon castle in Montreux Switzerland
Leaning Tower of Pisa
On top of the Tower
We are spending today together Christmas shopping, she doesn't know yet but I will be surprising her with jewelry tonight at dinner (I just need to insist that we do a nice restaurant, after all, it's only our Silver Anniversary once!).

Congrats on the milestone.
I just got married 2 1/2 months ago, so I have a little bit to go before I see 25 years. I just hope I get the chance to visit some of the places that you did when it comes around.

Congrats Catman Jim!
My younger brother, HuMiDheet, just got married this last summer, to a very nice girl he'd been dating for seven years. I'll be dropping by their place for New Years, and to make their couch feel needed
Everybody around me is getting married. This makes me feel old.

Congratulations on 25 years, James!
(BTW, you look
exactly like one of the English professors at the college where I teach.)

Woah, they still let people up on top of the tower?
Far out!
Catman, I hope when I'm looking back on 25 years of marriage I'll look half as good as you and Andrea do! Be excellent to each other!

She was quite surprised, we had agreed not to do anything more after our vacation. It wasn't a big piece because of that, but I couldn't let the occasion pass without a least a token gesture. Here it is, if you want to see.
