Today is our anniversary. Judy and I have been married 39 years. That's right -- thirty-nine years. We are one of those couples in a very small minority.

The years have been good. There are always times of trouble - obviously none of which could have been caused by my behaviour. After all, what part of my personality and character could cause any dissention. Ok -- it was a rhetorical question.

Judy hates when I tell people that the reason for being married for 39 years is that we have a perfect marriage -- we are both in love the same man. I have a permanent mark on my left arm from being hit every time I say that. When she tells people that we have been married for 39 years -- their reaction is that she must be a saint.

So, my blog being a public area of communication -- to Judy -- Happy Anniversary. Hugs and Kisses -- love your hubby!

I am full of a lot of things including one liners; two liners and other hot air. Over the years almost anyone that I meet that is worth talking to will get to hear or be forced to hear some of those one-liners. Two that come to mind are:

1. When I first met my in-laws they were at the proverbial joker of a next door neighbour who like all such individuals commenced to grill me, ie. what was I doing; what was I planning on doing with my life; what did my parents do.

With respect to the last question, I answered: My parents are in the iron and steel business -- my mother irons and my father steals. That stopped the conversation and has been a permanent part of my repetoire.

2. Whenever I decide to do something a little crazy (meaning "stupid) as in the case of motorcycling; cuba cigar smoking etc etc -- people ask me if I got permission from my wife.

With respect to that question my answer is always: I ask my mother for permission and my wife for forgiveness.


This now takes me to the point at hand. I have been told by my much better half (whose house I would like to continue to live in) that I continue to post such things as -- I have just returned from Florida ; or I am travelling to New York etc., etc. As if I am going alone. This is incorrect -- I travel with my wife (other than cigar smoking in Cuba).

So, wherever you have read "I" please change it to "we" -- as in Allan and Judy.

I hope that works and forgiveness is in the works.

by for now.

It is June 3rd -- and spring has sprung.

I have just returned from a drive down to Florida through Savannah and back through Charleston. Great trip -- lots of driving but in a great car which made the driving most of the fun.

So what's new. A heck of a lot. I really should consider a blog to be a daily diary -- but then again -- diaries are created as a personal reflection and what a waste of time. I had created this "thing" to allow people to access information that they would not otherwise have access to -- but then I am told that some of my postings are actually humurous and others are educational. Hey -- what ever turns you on.

have a great day

ok - so I haven't posted for a while. Probably because either I was too busy or had nothing of value to say.

sometimes the most intelligent part of a conversation is silence.

anyway, I have nothing to say right now -- nothing, nil, nada, gunesht, zippo, niente -- sooo bye for now

and the magic number appearing on my Notice of Trial for "allegedly" speeding; including the fine, costs and Victim Surcharge is

$5.01

unbelievable!! If anyone can get a speeding ticket with a fine less than $5.01 I would be amazed.

the over and under is now $25.00 on the fine for speeding.

summons

For those with a very vivid imagination -- sorry to disappoint you but on the over and under betting which started at $100.00 the answer is -- the total charges -- fine, costs and victim fine surcharge are less than $100.00

the new over or under bet is $50.00 Over or under $50.00???
