Happy Anniversary Woody and Sharon

OK! When did remembering one’s anniversary become the husband’s responsibility? It’s my anniversary too! Yes, today we celebrate 39 years of marriage. In 39 years I forgot Sharon’s birthday once, and today I forgot our anniversary. I have several excuses and they go like this: first, I enjoy reading but really don’t have much time to do it unless I stay up late. Recently, I read through the Hunger Games books, read another novel, started “The Godbearing Life”, and two days ago started “1812 – The Navy’s War” by George Daughan. But the only time I have to read is during lunch break or if I read late at night. So, reason #1 is I’m mostly tired. Second, I worked 11 hours today, and third, I just forgot. I should have picked up on it as soon as I got home. My lovely wife just looked at me when I asked her about supper! After having some left overs we played a game (Ticket to ride) which Sharon won, and then Sharon suggested I check my email. Just then Kristen called to wish us a happy anniversary which by that time I knew what I didn’t know. We laughed about the situation then went out for a Dairy Queen Blizzard with still over two and one-half hours left of our anniversary!
Thanks for all the well wishes.
Woody
