As of today it’s been eight years since I married my very favorite wife ever. Happy anniversary, Jennifer!

Because tomorrow is my birthday, my wife, who is the coolest wife in the history of the Cosmos, made me this: Yes, it is a knitted Dalek. This was after the plush brain cell, the “What Would a Zombie Do?” spinner, and the tickets to a Jonathan Coulton concert in San Francisco in January. I [...]

The quiet couple in the corner at the restaurant, reading and holding hands. The couple laughing hysterically in the hotel room next door at some silly joke. The couple that keeps striving to come up with the goofiest nicknames and terms of endearment for each other. The couple that goes on those long bike rides [...]

And so the other day, we were getting ready for our long bike ride; part of that preparation included slathering suntan lotion all over our legs and arms and faces so that the su wouldn’t broil us like lobsters. Jennifer handed me the lotion and I decided, in my own patented brand of logic, that [...]

Usually, when I decide it’s time to zark a computer to death, it’s my Linux box that bears the brunt of my incompetence. Last week, though, I booted into Windows to check out an image I wanted to work on, and discovered that I was unable to hook up to the Internet through Windows 2000. [...]

There are times when I’m afraid that Jennifer just doesn’t appreciate me enough. In response to this entry in her journal, and her calling me a "beanhead" earlier this evening, I created this picture for her: And this: And, the piece de resistance: …which is truly my masterpiece. And my wife looks on these and [...]

"This is a test, isn’t it?" I asked my wife via Instant Messenger after a long pause. "No it’s not," she replied, "and you really don’t have to if you don’t want to." It was too late, though. I’d already agreed. Back up a few minutes to where I’d told Jennifer that I was going [...]

The storms in the Greater Central Valley of California never get that impressive, at least not in Yolo and Solano Counties. True, there are floods and worse in this area every few years, but, on the whole, the weather around here is very mild. Today, the air has smelled like rain all day; I went [...]

So the other evening, I went out into our back yard to hang my laundry out to dry. I came back inside to hear the sounds of gunfire, screaming, and high-speed industrial music emanating from our living room. This would probably have been alarming to some people, I suppose, but I wasn’t at all dismayed; [...]

All in all, I think that Jennifer has probably made the transition from engaged to married more smoothly than I have. While I still find myself stopping dead in my tracks from time to time (inconvenient when I’m driving at eighty miles an hour down highway 80) and thinking to myself, "Wow! I’m really married [...]

Dear Jennifer, Today is the day that we are married. Do you remember over a year ago when we sat down in Borders in Davis with our calendars and your Palm Pilot and tried to pin down this date? We had to worry about the fact that half of my family has birthdays during this [...]

Sometimes, I go through periods where I’ll write an entry for this journal just about every day. At other times, a week or two will go by without me writing a thing. I think at this point I’ve gone for more than two weeks. I hope that I haven’t lost my one or two regular [...]

When I first met you two or three years ago, at a Dungeons and Dragons game that a mutual friend was running, I thought to myself, "That is the woman I’m going to marry." It was just a flicker of a thought. I didn’t give it much thought, because we met and then we were [...]

Yesterday in our office, our help desk manager announced to the developers at large that he felt he was lucky because his fiancee had told him flat out that she didn’t expect anything special for Valentine’s Day. He felt he was off the hook. The other developers, who are all married, nodded at his innocence [...]
