John and Hilarie have been married longer that most of us have been alive. That is amazing. Congratulations.

We never got married. We were about to once, but her parents were such a PITA that we decided not.
I believe you guys can claim it at this point, if you wish. If VT was common law, you would have crossed that threshold decades ago.

hey hey hey

got in early in hopes of getting out early to ride my bike in circles or even while not moving at all. Just as long as I'm doing something on wheels, I should be happy.

Congrats jbp/H, gff, Squeeb for your various accomplishments such as emerging from your mothers

/me has a persistent sore throat. Negative COVID rapid test and doesn’t seem to track with taking antihistamines. I’ll convert myself to WFH this morning and go to the local urgent care to get strep tested later.

not everyone wants/needs the pomp of getting married. it's your life, you do you.

also congrats.
Agreed, but there also doesn't need to be any pomp. My wife and I eloped and got married out in nature near Yellowstone. Only people there were the officiant and a photog.

Also, I've come dangerously close to doing work this morning as it's a rest day in the Giro so I can't watch the racing instead...

So not a fan of bees are you?

In May, let the grass be! ;)
I am, lots of other flowers in the yard, including a big lavender plant that they seem to enjoy. :)

But...if I let it get much longer I'll have to go kidwoo and get a tracked Honda lawn mower or something. :rofl:

media blackout
was supposed to go to lunch with my department. i go to the bathroom so i'd be ready to leave. i come back, whoosh. everyone is gone. despite having talked to people about it earlier in the day, all just gone. didn't even leave a message where they were going. seriously considering just leaving and WFH the rest of the day.

Since no one is around to tell you "no", I'd take that as a "yes".
