Jeanine and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow. This evening we curled up to watch a romantic comedy, oddly named Something’s Gotta Give, featuring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. It was actually the perfect movie for the occasion and we both laughed our heads off. Given my exceptional romantic instincts, I seized the moment after the movie finished to present Jeanine with a gift to celebrate twenty five years of marriage. When she opened the box and discovered an iron inside (our current one, I discovered last weekend, has a broken handle being held together by packing tape) she was nothing short of furious. I believe her exact words were “this is the WORST anniversary present EVER!” I tried to console her by explaining what a high quality iron it was and encouraged her to take it out of the box and examine it more closely. She would have nothing to do with the iron or me. I persisted, however, and she begrudgingly took the iron out and then the special cup used to fill the iron inside which she discovered a lovely sterling silver bracelet. I was forgiven in the nicest way possible.
