Possibly Deep Thoughts

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were making plans, but we couldn’t remember if our anniversary was on the 6th or 8th. Luckily, my parents had given us a clock on our first anniversary with the date engraved on it.

Having my anniversary a week before Valentine’s Day is a great mnemonic.

According to About.com,
the gift for 17 is furniture. I think that’s supposed to be a sign that the passion is gone, but for us that’s just not true. But it seems that my parents knew what they were doing. (I’m sure it was just my mother.)
