Mr. Romance

Sometimes I'm romantically-challenged. The latest evidence: Cathy and I had to change around our Valentines Day plans because... I set up an appointment with our tax guy in the early evening (I was wondering why he had that prime slot open).

Doh-h-h-h.

I tried the "nothing says loving like a tax refund" argument, but she didn't buy it.

Now the only question is whether I should take flowers to the accountant.

You're my hero! LOL! I think he'd actually prefer chocolates.

Good suggestion about the chocolate! Maybe I'll be a bigger refund that way?

I can top that.

about a week ago:

"Honey, I'll be leaving for Big Sur after dinner next Thursday night."

her:
"What date is that?"

me:
"oh, uh yea. Err, I'll be leaving Friday morning first thing."

Her:
"You might as well leave Thursday night now. As early as you want."

Doh!

I'm suddenly feeling a little better about myself. Thanks

Ben... happy to help.

John... that is bad, but at least you're going to go do something fun.

Kent... my wife is well-versed in forgiveness, thankfully!

Brad: You and me both. I also made the tremendously idiotic decision of scheduling an appointment with our tax-returns person at 5pm on Valentine's Day. I'm not even kidding. We're a special bunch.

I would just call it a rookie mistake, but you've been at it much longer than I have ;-)

That's really funny Steve.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Let me know when you're ready to learn some other dunderheaded marriage skills.
