Greetings! I hope everyone is having a terrific day today, whatever you are celebrating—Spring, Easter, Passover, or, as in our case, our seventeenth wedding anniversary. Here we are, my husband Hal and I, enjoying a wonderful anniversary toast.

As I do every year, I said to Hal that we should conduct our annual Year in Review. “Did we meet our objectives for the year?” I asked him. “What will our goals for the coming year be, and how would we measure them?” I queried him next. And finally, “Should we revise our mission statement?” As usual, he merely stared at me (cue the sounds of crickets).

Well, what else can a man expect when he marries a teacher?
