10 years! That's tin!

Or aluminum! Whichever you prefer... Steve says aircraft count.

It's just 15 days until our 10th wedding anniversary... Just wanted to remind those of you out there who think we've just been together forever. It is close to forever: In just eight days, we'll celebrate 19 years as a couple.

How long is 19 years? Some tidbits from the evening news, May 10, 1988 (I love the Internet):

Strikes in Poland. Gorbachev's reforms in the USSR. Pardons in the Iran-Contra scandal. Pope John Paul II visiting South America. A bank fire in California. The aftermath of a plane crash in Detroit. A piece on Zola Budd. And commentary on the Reagans' interest in astrology.

We're planning an exotic anniversary getaway (exotic for us, anyway), thanks to Jeanne and Joe, who will be here to watch the young'uns... a trip to beautiful downtown St. Louis! A Thursday day game at the ol' (new) ballyard, watching the Cards likely lose to the Pirates, then dinner at the Top of the Riverfront, a fancy revolving restaurant downtown... Then we get to spend the night in a club king room at the Millennium Hotel downtown, where we get robes and slippers. Whoo-hoo!

To see the view from our seats, click here, then click on Section 166 (by the left field foul pole). To see the restaurant, click here. To check out what our room will look like, click here.

Do the rooms at that place have a theme....like Roman Orgy, Cowboy Hoedown, Grecian Bathhouse?
Magic Fingers?
