Patrick,

Good move that will probably enable you to live a lot longer.

Some of the things others have said are very true. The one thing they left out is you never talk about anything that happened or anyplace you went before Brandie. You're best answer when you forget a birthday, anneversary (your wedding anneversary is not the only one you will be celebrating you know?) or some special occassion is:

"I have planned a special night for this occassion for weeks to surprise you and you couldn't wait for the surprise tonight"...and no I didn't forget. I was just waiting on the right time! Hopefully, this conversation happens before 5:00 in the evening.

By the way that only works once or twice.

Good luck Patrick, if I lived closer I would join the parade.
