Today. I'm taking the day off from work so that I can ... stay home and work on taxes. Leonore's at the campus for a standard day of tutoring.
We'll go out for an early dinner this evening - early, because we don't do the late-night thing, these days, or not intentionally.
We had big plans for this anniversary, involving a long vacation in New Zealand, but we've had to lower our sights and so, instead of NZ, we'll be going to Ted's Montana Grill.
In the past, for major anniversaries, we've put on fancyish duds and gone to expensive places and paid absurd amounts for mediocre food and pretentious service. We thought we'd try something more middle of the road and reliable, this time.
Fort years! It does seem strange and not quite real. Forty years ago, we were just a coupla crazy kids, and it seems like we're still just a coupla crazy kids with achy knees.

3. Sorry about your vacation in New Zealand... |
|
But 40 years! And you still have each other. That's better than an exotic vacation any day. Congratulations!

I'm assuming that New Zealand will hang around for a while, so maybe we'll get there yet.

We're close behind. Haven't checked statistics, but aren't we all in a minority group of sorts?

If we hit 50, do we get some sort of certificate?
How about 75, which must be exceedingly rare? Maybe at that point, you get a video greeting from the governor or the president, delivered in A REALLY LOUD VOICE.
