Anniversary

I love my wife.

When the chips are down there is no one else who I would rather have in my corner. As time stretches out in front of us there is no one more fun to just ride it out with. And when things are good, we both know to keep our mouths shut and enjoy it.

I love her populism, and her perspective. She reads about five times as many books as I do and retains practical knowledge. When I talk about how people want to exercise their rights, she reminds me that they need to put food in their mouth. She is self made. She knows how to work and do things, in addition to just talking about them. Practicality still eludes me, sometimes.

Because I had so much help along the way I can only admire her accomplishments, and never equal them.

And she has built a home. I don't think there is anything more important to me than that. I think it's the one traditional value I hold dearest.

And she's hot.

I love my wife.
