Silver Anniversary. Hmmm. I say, we throw a Doper Dinner sometime say, in late January. Yeah, that’s it ! Late January. Over at the Chelsea Grill, which is **Billdo** ’s fave spot for such affairs. We throw a Doper Dinner, see- and we each bring a silver gift unto them. I love this idea. I think it’s a sterling idea. 😃 ---

Congratulations! Great webpage too, I never knew what hunks they looked like! (Am I the only one who thinks they’re playing good mod/bad mod in those pics?) But now I really want someone to update the webpage with pics of them 25 years ago. Late 70s/early 80s hair and all. Heh heh heh. ---

Destroying the institution of marriage for 25 years? Pshaw. I’ve been married those same 25 years, plus 5 months and they’ve done nothing to interfere with it! When it comes to destroying institutions, they obviously just don’t know where to begin. So keep it up, you guys! That’s a beautiful thing you’ve got going. Congrats and best wishes for many more years. ---

Yay! Heidi was just wondering where you two had gotten off to. I’ll have to remind her that you’ve been a little “busy”. Are you guys still in the area? If you are we will have to take you out to lunch soon minus the heathens so we can visit. And I just cleaned the van too! 😉 ---
