Not unrelated to high-stakes multiple-choice conundrums, today is the start of our two-day wedding anniversary. It lasts two days because we can't agree on which day it occurs. I keep thinking it's the 18th but Alane swears it is the 17th. Ever the reasonable and accommodating spouse (a Mastandrea hallmark!) I have eagerly embraced the compromise position: let it be both days and we can celebrate that much longer.
I get to drink more wine that way.
