Husband and I forget our anniversary every year - which we think is a good thing. We've been together forever, and will be, forever. Dates are signposts - but life is what keeps happening, yeah?<br /><br />Anniversaries, Valentine's Day - these are for amateurs. The real deal is if you love each other - and say so - every day.ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33510674.post-39604885131717673412009-05-08T15:12:00.000-04:002009-05-08T15:12:00.000-04:00Re: fences without gates (yes, another Ireland vac...Re: fences without gates (yes, another Ireland vacation anecdote) -<br /><br />When Diane and I spent our day on Inishmore, our guide pointed out a curious thing about the little square plots into which the pastureland there is divided: the stone walls that demark them have no gates. When a cow is to be moved from one plot to another, or out into the road, the farmer simply takes apart a little bit of the stone wall, moves the cow, and then piles the stones back up again. Makes some sense, I suppose, on the Aran Islands where timber and metal are rare, but rocks are everywhere.<br /><br />I'm sorry... was that more than 140 characters?Sherwood Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575868746160608731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33510674.post-3233506539949374912009-05-08T14:40:00.000-04:002009-05-08T14:40:00.000-04:00And to think I complained when they cut the letter...And to think I complained when they cut the letters to the editor down to 300 words....Dannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319457121145444425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33510674.post-18409219792429916272009-05-08T05:32:00.000-04:002009-05-08T05:32:00.000-04:00The Variety Pak (gotta spell it that way, I think)...The Variety Pak (gotta spell it that way, I think) analogy is good. You have these attractive little bundles of not-enough, kind of like the joke about Weight Watcher frozen dinners -- Hey, three or four of those make a pretty good meal!<br /><br />I have enough trouble making a 20-minute presentation. Working in 140 characters seems pretty unlikely.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807727819590358834noreply@blogger.com
