Never wish for the impossible, and you, too, might make it to anniversary number #82.

So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.

About Me
- Name: neo-neocon
I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

Geez! They have been married longer than I will probably live. What a great story. The best advice I ever got on marriage was from my Grandma who told us never, ever go to bed angry at the other.
Its working well so far.
Truly amazing. They got married the month my Dad was born.
This is one of the things I so love about the internet and bloggers...I would never have come upon this lovely story on my own. Thanks.
