The Correction: It was my grandparent's 60th anniversary, not their 50th.
Can I just say again WOW. That just...blows my mind. I can't imagine living with the same person everyday for sixty years and not wanna bash one of our head's in at some point. Compare that to my Mom's parents, who were never married to anyone for more then a few years, and they married eachother at least twice. We're honestly not sure how many times Grandma Mary was actualy married, turns out some of the guys, they were just shacking up and calling it a marrage.
After growing up with every disfuntion possible in a family, being around Joe's family is its own little headtrip. I never believed in the idea of the nuclear family 'til we married into his. In fact, Joe's the only member of his family I can think of who's had more then one marriage. So, yeah, wow. Props to them! Wish we were all so luckey.
The Observation: Geoff has now developed a chlorine alorgy, too. I was the only one with it for the last decade and a half or so, and now Geoff has developed one too, and it came on fast and hard. He reconised it for what it was quickly (benifit of having asthma, I supose, you learn to figure out fast what it is makeing you sick), so his hasn't yet developed into the breathing issues mine has, thank god. And his isn't as sever as mine...yet. He'll have to keep a close eye on it for the rest of his life. City's around here chlorinate the drinking water occationaly, and some city's do it year round. If his gets as bad as mine, even that chlorine can be dangrous.
Good news is I'm not the only freek in the family with this problem anymore. ::chuckles:: Missery 'n company 'n all that.
Oh, and also, Geoff 'n Sarah are gunna be moving back to Oly sometime in the next month or two. Geoff's now ahving an hour comunte each way to work, and it's wearing on him. They orignaly moved to Rodchester because they both worked south of there, so it made sence. But now that neither one is working south anymore, they're eager to get back to where they don't have the comutes. They're already house hunting.
And that is all. I've run outta spoons.
