Heard in a meeting: Perfection



"We can't even be who we want to be, but we think that we know who everyone else should be."







"Marriage is not capable of perfection."

Today is my wife's birthday. I'm throwing a party here at the house for her tonight. It's not a surprise party but there will be good food: home made barbecue and all the trimmings, roasted oysters (of course) and a special cake.

Marriage may not be perfection, but I'm doing my best to make this day a good one for her.

Photos will be coming tomorrow....

  12. Please stop saying roasted oysters. I want that so bad!
    I have a shell fish allergy so I've never eaten lobster or shrimp or that stuff but I can have oysters which I love love love.
    I have however never had them roasted and now I want some.
