July 24, 1981


That was the date, the anniversary of which is this week, that Jan and I set out on an amazing adventure. It has had its twists and turns, some unbelievable highs and some really devastating lows, but all in all, I can think of no other person that I would want on the ride with me. I hope that she feels the same. So if you see or e-mail Momma G this week, tell her what a fantastic, saintly, courageous, awesome, stunning, fabulous, good-humored, sweet-natured and loving person she must be to have put up with me for 27 years.
(oh yeah, and for me, pray that she has it in her to keep this thing going for a whole lot longer.)

Happy Anniversary Jan!!! You still rock my world.

QUICK UPDATE:
For fans of the movie "Parenthood", I give you my favorite passage from the movie. Grandma's story.

"You know, when l was younger Grandpa took me on a roller coaster. Up, down, up, down. - Oh, what a ride.- I always wanted to go again. lt was just interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited and so thrilled all together. Some didn´t like it.They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it."
