Greetings Earthlings!

To the tune of Those Were the Days from All In the Family

Ahem.....

The Keep on the Borderland
The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan
Everyone had a Magic Wand
Those were the days

No-one had the stats to play a paladin
Orcs were orcs and you slaughtered them
Mister we could use a man
like Gary Gygax again

The DM always ruled your fate
Torchbearers always beared your weight
Always hated stepping on those d8s
Those were the days


Exit stage left......

It was 12 years ago today that Ann & I were on our way to Wisconsin to Ann's hometown of Stevens Point (home of Point Beer) to get married. It was a whacky week of In Laws and drinking too much the night before the rehearsal dinner. Ann's midnight phone call the night before the wedding asking if we had to get married and just couldnt live together for the rest of our lives.

As to the ceremony itself I really dont remember much. The last thing I really remember of it is Ann walking into the church. After that I remember kneel, stand, kneel, stand of what is a full Mass Catholic Wedding.

Watching the wedding video is interesting because its like watching something that happened to someone else. I will comment on how large my eyes got when I first saw Ann walk in. My best man Mike thought I was going to bolt for the door for a second.

I can honestly say Ann is the best thing that ever happened to me. I make a LOT of jokes about being married, but I would be lost without her. The vows say "for better or for worse" and there has been a lot of both, but with Ann the worse dosent seem that bad.

I love you, kiddo.

EDIT: BTW to avoid confusion our anniversary is Sunday.

Coming soon from DC Comics....
