12th anniversary

Rachel and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary today. I love you, Rachel. Thanks for the last twelve years (and here's to another sixty or seventy, at least).

For our own personal "this day in history", I can report that it was 12 years ago that O. J. Simpson had his low-speed car chase in the white Bronco. When my brother-in-law, Bruce, first reported the episode-in-progress when he arrived at our rehearsal dinner on that evening of June 1994, we didn't quite believe it. Bruce can be a bit of a wit, but the reality sunk in as each subsequent guest provided progress updates on O.J.'s flight from the murder scene.

Yes, it's an odd little bit of trivia, but it's our odd little bit of trivia. So, if you're ever playing Trivial Pursuit and get an O. J. Simpson question, just think of us in Napa Valley twelve years ago.
