Today is the eighteenth anniversary of the first time Monkey and I went on a date.
In the morning of our first date we went to the university and bought books, and then went to McDonald's where I only had enough money to get myself a burger, and didn't get her anything. (I was super smooth).
Later that night we went to see Awakenings with Robert Deniro and Robin Williams. Not the best first date movie, but what the hell. For the record I did pick up that tab. I didn't see the book purchase as part of the date. You live, you learn.
This fall will be our 10th wedding anniversary. We actually celebrate our dating anniversary more than our wedding if that makes any sense. Actually who cares, it works for us...
It hasn't always been easy. We have worked very hard at our relationship over the years. Diane is my best friend in the world, and I am incredibly lucky to have her in my life. We grew through a lot together: rotten apartments, Ramon noodles, yellow enveloped electric bills and bad haircuts. Wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything.
I'm gonna defer to Norman Cook this morning.
"we've come a long, long way together, through the hard times and the good, I have to celebrate you baby, I have to praise you like I should..."
love you monkey.

Louis,
I wrote a little script that takes some text and randomly swaps letters, adds or removes apostrophes, puts a comma here and there, and removes them from other places.
It could really help in making your posts more legible.
Or stop blogging after excessive intake of C2H60. Don't drink and type!
