Location: Boise, Idaho | Married SWMBO 32 years ago today. My guitar habit apparently hasn't caused her to want to get rid of me. In that regard, I have played the "guitar for our anniversary" thing for all it is worth. She no longer dares to ask what I want for our anniversary. The 04 CL and Ute were both anniversary presents for the same year. That was before she started to keep track. The OFC was a birthday gift that also covered our 30th anniversary. The LAV Koa was last year's and this year she got in a healthy dose of complaining before sending Stephen Terry the check for the #47 RI. Married life has been good, not just in the material things. The girls are coming in for a family reunion, one tonight and one tomorrow night. I'll try to get some pics of the guitars at the cabin where we should have one of our NW gatherings. |

Happy A-Day Mark. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Mark, congrats! If I added up the first one (as I spit on the ground) and my present (and permanent) wife, it would be 32 also. :D You're lucky you picked the right one the first time. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I never said she was forgiving, just that she hasn't gotten rid of me. Taking my name was only one of her many concessions. 77 was kind of the height of that hyphenated name thing, too, and she went from 5 letters with 2 vowels to 9 letters with one vowel.
Maybe if they get this brain tumor out, she'll start thinking clearly. |

Actually, it isn't paid for. It's on the home equity loan, which we should have paid off if I hadn't bought so many guitars, home repairs, medical bills, etc. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Congratulations to both of you for surviving and thriving with each other.
I've met one of your girls at the first NW gathering (if I remember correctly) and if the two of you are a flavour of the family you're all a darned good team.
Best to all of you and best wishes on the operation. |
