T plus one year. (The T stands for Tater Tots)
Ladies and gentlemen, it has officially been one year since Sophia and I tied the knot. One could argue that the year lapsed on Tuesday on the fifty-second week, but screw it, it’s today. It was a wonderful first year, with lots of lovin’ and huggin’ and kissin’ and other mushy crap. So there were some arguments and childish tantrums and whining, but that just means it’s a real marriage - with lots of room for the both of us to mature (an abyssal trench worth of room). Anyway, it was totally worth it and would totally do it all over again. I highly recommend this marriage racket. I got a life-long companion out of it, and it makes me giddy every time I think about it. See? Mushy crap.
Anyway, so you must wonder what we did to celebrate the occasion. First, we dined at Mai (formerly Haru) Sushi and the food was heavenly. If you like sushi, do yourself a favor and go there sometime and try the tuna and avocado salad. We intended to swing by next door to Dave’s Comics and celebrate our paper anniversary in apropos geek fashion, but Dave’s was closed.
So we drove to Sticky Rice ToGoGo to buy a take-out order of Tater Tots and do you know what happened when we walked in the door? The Sushi chef who was on duty the night we wed was on duty tonight and he recognized us! And he remembered our world tour! And like a year ago, he gave us our tater tots on the house! (We left a massive tip…)
And that’s about it. We came home and watched My Name is Earl and ate our tater tots with spicy mayo and Sri-Racha. And although we did not drink Champagne with our tots this time, we took a nice picture of the champagne bottle next to the tots. So, almost as good…
It’s been a good year. Here’s to the next year and all the years after.
