Our house is more than 100-years old. If you were to infer that nothing in the house is plumb, level or square, you would have been correct until we finished remodeling the kitchen last year.

Today is the anniversary of the first time I noticed my wife. She says we met before that. Her friend mooched a ride home from a school play for the two of them. Neither of them would sit in the front seat with me; they both sat in back. Beginning three days later, and for all the years since, she has sat beside me. Maybe we’ll go for a ride today and to commemorate the event she can sit in the back seat again.
