Optimism and joy must always be celebrated. Congratulations on two decades.

Thanks! And I agree about celebrating optimism and joy. It's one of those things that's too easy to forget in a culture that constantly hits you with a barrage of pessimism and misery...But first we laugh! is my new personal motto.

Congratulations, big guy. She's a keeper and you must've done some of the heavy lifting to have her still stay with you. Lucky her, lucky you. Would that the world would work this simply. I'm a 45 year participant in a close marriage. Lucky me, lucky him.

To be 45-years-old and still have your parents showing up to raise a glass is pretty great. Thanks, mom. :)
