[HenryC]

Just thought I'd mention it; tomorrow, 10 Jan 2011, is my (and Mrs C's) 30th wedding anniversary. 
It seems just like yesterday...

[bmiller]

Congratulations. It took me two marriages to equal that!

Hmmmm. That reminds me of the old WC Fields quote, "I'd rather have two 21 year olds than one 42 year old."

Congratulations, Henry. Are you doing anything special? Last November marked our 31st...and, yes, sometimes is seems like yesterday. Other times is seems like an eternity!

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen.  As for doing something special, Mrs C and I plan to mark the day with our usual special milestone celebration, toasting each other with a fresh bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream after dinner tonight. 

BTW, in just a few hours, I'm expecting my first student for my celestial navigation class.

[Greene]

Congratulations!  Geez, 30 years.  That's like 42 with the windchill.

     when we hit 30 i posed a question to my wife. if you can work a job for 30 years and retire why cant you retire from marriage after 30 years? the answer is unprintable

[Bob23]

Likewise: When my wife turned 56, I inquired about trading her in for 2 28's. After I came to in the ER.....I've made a miraculous recovery but have no memory of her response. They say in times of great trauma, memory lapse is common.
   On a rare, serious note: I'm priviledged to have my wife. Not just anyone would or could put up with me. After 31 years, you realize that you truly are one. Sure, the cupids have long vanished but it comes down to committment.
   Now, If I could only get her to sail!

Congratulations Henry!

Another long timer - 41st last August.  Just thinking, we sailors may be a little more laid back and have more patiience than non sailors.

We'll be celebrating our 33rd this May. 

    I was studying archeology so our 1st date was to Chicago's Field Museum for the King Tut exhibit.  I don't like crowds or waiting 4 hours in line, so I took her down to the lake front where I pointed out the different kinds of sailboats, describing the rigs and how I was going to sail across oceans to different dig sites, and one day, live aboard a sailboat.

     It took 26 years and 3 daughters before we could afford our 1st boat, but we're already on our 5th boat now,
('85 19/II) and hopefully won't be replacing it until retirement.

By the looks of all the sailors in long term commitments here, I'd have to say...

"If you marry a sailor, be prepared to be committed!"

[HenryC]

Ah yes, Carl, but did you ever get to sail across an ocean, or get to live aboard a sailboat?
