My wedding anniversary is coming up at the end of the month. Contrary to popular belief, not all the years are “Diamonds.”
You know what I mean. There is a chart “someone” created showing what type of gift you are suppose to get someone depending on what year they are celebrating.
I know some years are big ones; Platinum, Silver, and Gold. But I also remember seeing that some of them were pretty much loser years as far as gifts go; Paper, Wood, maybe Yarn.
The reason I am wondering is I had to pave about 600 feet of driveway/road this year in North Carolina. We go there several times a year and the gravel road, although manageable, was just getting a bit irritating. Not for the car mind you, but the motorcycles.
I am curious if I can just tell my wife this is the year of Asphalt. Not being a total creep, it could be our gift to each other. She could give me the left side of the road; I could give her the right.
Asphalt has to be more romantic than the year of Paper or Wood – and far more useful! Then again, “useful” seems to have nothing to do with whoever made the list up in the first place (my money is on Hallmark).
A useful list would have had things like a Big Screen Television, an Apple iPhone, Riding Lawnmower, or even a Kitchen Remodel.
So, do you think I can get away with “The Year of Asphalt?” Yea, me either – guess I better hit the mall and see if they have any iPhones made out of Platinum or something.
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
