Fourteen years
Wife 2, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. On May 17, 1997 I married this beautiful woman. We’re still going strong, after some good times and some bad times and some more good times and some awful times and some more good … Continue reading
This just in….
Heavens, actual high-speed Internet is fantastic! That is all. Moving on! (Oh, and anyone inadvertently spoiling me on what happens on tonight’s season finale of Castle will suffer an awful, awful fate. You have been warned!)
