There's nothing like spending two weekends in a car with your spouse driving through Iowa, aka a circle of hell decorated with cows & corns, to remind you that love & marriage are things you have to work at constantly.

The spouse & I were supposed to go see a movie this afternoon, but those plans fell through. So we got in the car to go to the 7pm showing, started backing out & he looked at me and said "You totally want to stay home & watch the Blackhawks game, don't you ( Read more... )
