"You Are Now Entering....."

It was 27 years ago today that my brand new mother-in-law rammed my very own wedding cake in my face, and then laughed hysterically. That's when I knew......

I had just entered the twilight zone!

Twenty-seven years later and I'm still there, and still good with it.

Yes my wife's family were (and still are) pretty weird, but as you can imagine that didn't really make me feel out of place.

As a matter of fact I think it was the similarity between our two families that was a big factor in our "fit". In general terms they are both weird, loyal, irreverent, spontaneous, outgoing, generous, fun loving, spiritual etc, with just enough difference built in, that Roo and I both learned a little from the in-laws over the years.

Actually it occurs to me that both Claudette and I were "born" into the twilight zone....

So happy 27th babe! To celebrate we went out and bought a bunch of clothes and stuff for our grandchildren. That's a very gratifying feeling, and I have an idea that it could become a tradition. I can tell you that it was much more satisfying that buying something useless for each other. Whaddaya think Roo?

And while I'm now a pretty experienced husband, I feel very much like a beginner runner. I forced myself through 10 kms today, but things are still no where near normal. One day at a time eh!

10k run
