Michelle and I celebrate our 13th anniversary today; can you believe it? And although she has taken to not reading my blog because she is actually living the Alberta adventure now, I wanted to use a little of this space to say “Happy anniversary, hunny!”

Now, what does one get for your loved one on anniversary number 13? It’s an obscure number that has been down trodden by superstition and curses alike. Should I get her an 8 ball (the pool ball, you knuckle heads), a black cat, a trip under a ladder? A quick search on the good ol’ world wide web reveals that traditional 13th anniversary gifts have a lace theme. Hmmm. I guess I better leave work early today so I can go and buy some curtains…

Zoo pics will be coming later today, hopefully.
