Congratulations on that wedding anniversary!
You should write a book on your adventures of the past 5 1/2 years.

Well, that's sort of what this journal is. If you have read it from the beginning and found the story entertaining then I may take your proposal seriously. If you got bored part way through...!

The difference between a novel and a journal is that the journal includes quiet, calm (read boring) "real life" bits that happen between all the exciting bits.
Otherwise, all book heros would have semi-yearly horn-honking head colds, large mailings, monthly inventory paperwork on a regular basis....
AND at least half of them would fart like a gun going off.
The two of you look like you're really happy in your pictures. (I've seen a lot of smiling people here lately where the smile never reached their eyes--sad, that.)
Happiness between a man and a woman is a thing to be cherished and guarded carefully.

There I go getting on my soapbox again; it's just that I've known too many quietly unhappy people who never had the guts to do anything about it but you did.
Do you mind if I ask a nosy question? (Don't answer if you don't want to.) What's the ex-wife doing now the two of you aren't together any more? From the way you described her, she definitely sounded like she badly needed counselling.
:]

Of course, the other difference between a novel and a journal is that the former is fiction. I thought you were suggesting I write an autobiography? I suppose I could do a semi-autobiographical novel, with names and places changed to protect the guilty ( ... )
