Ryan(8) and I were playing Gin Rummy this evening.   He recently learned to play the game and is mastering it apace.   Not surprising since he is highly competitive.

When our game was over he was putting abroad the cards while I was starting dinner.   He pulled out a yellow post-it annotation that was in the box and held it up.

What is this?

Oh, probably an one-time score card.

Ya, it is from you lot and daddy.   On the back information technology says this…

eighteen Sep 99

Greatest Gin comeback in history!   (Web log-Stedman) downwardly 175-0.   Came back to win 203-198 by knocking!   UNBELIEVABLE!

Why would daddy save that?

He was but bragging.

Daddy is so cool.

Yep, he is pretty cool.   I have had the privilege to be married to cool for 18 years today.

Happy Ceremony!

I beloved you…a nd know that posting this scorecard is much meliorate than a greeting carte du jour .
