I mentioned a bit earlier how we were going to dinner tonight for our anniversary. Well, the restaurant was really quite good. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Maggiano’s or good Italian.
Anyway, off to bed.
Day: May 5, 2005
Gather ’round, kids, I’m going to tell you a little story. Today is a very special day. It’s Cinco de Mayo. What is Cinco de Mayo, you ask? It’s a Mexican holiday, but that’s not really part of this story. Today is special for another reason.
Many, many days ago — 1,461 days ago to be exact — I found myself in Kohler, Wisconsin, at a hotel called “The American Club“. It’s a very nice hotel, with beautiful gardens and fountains and furniture and just about everything else a 5-diamond hotel should have. I was there with a few friends for a special gathering.
On May 5, 2001, I was blessed to be able to marry my wife, Kelly. It was a wonderful day, and there have been many wonderful days since — almost 1,461 of them.
In celebration of that day, 208.71 weeks ago, I am taking my wife to dinner tonight at a new restaurant in Brookfield, BRAVO! Cucina Italiana. Feel free to wish us a happy 4th anniversary, but, whether you do or not, it will be happy.
P.S., I’d also like to wish a happy 1st anniversary to Brian and Belinda Tinkler, who celebrated their day yesterday, and will be celebrating another special day in about a month — the birth of their son.
