    The best one was taking off with the wife to Jackson N.H. to go leaf
    watching and visiting old college stomping grounds.  Stayed over night
    at a old hotel that was something out of another time. Bottle of champaine
    hid in car for her. Lots of smiles and local wild flowers, sweaters,
    warm sunshine, New England in the fall. Lots of colors. Lots of love. 
    
    The worst thing was when she told me on the anniversary that she was
    leaving me for another man. And if I try to stop her, in any way, I
    would never see my daughter of 18 months agian. She claimed that 
    she just fell out of love with me. Oh, by the way, I did not know 
    where either or all parties were going to be. Maine to Cal? Pick one. 
    
    The funniest was she bought some ballons for me filled with heilum,
    after getting them stuck in the ceiling fan as she came bouncing into
    the living room to suprise me, we sat around that night getting very
    silly snorting the gas and drinking champaine. 
    
    I think that if I could do it all agian. I don't think much would
    change. Perhaps.

    Well, all I know is, if you're _NOT_ romantic on your anniversary, then
    something is _VERY_ wrong, and you _WILL_ hear about from your mate!
    ;-)
    
    In addition to the obvious one, which we always celebrated by going
    away to some hotel for the weekend, I tried to find other anniversaries
    to celebrate as well, and surprise her with (first day we met, day we
    got engaged, first time we...  well, you know ;-)...  Got the idea from
    my old man, who just about knocked my mother's sox off with a romantic
    dinner and diamond necklace on their 10,000th day of marriage...
    
    My advice??  Celebrate it BIG time, but do something else, as well...

    The best: picnic of homemade pate, cheese, champagne, etc with linen
    and silver, dressed to the nines, in Mount Auburn cemetary in
    Cambridge, MA (a cemetary not to be believed unless seen).
    
    Annual: return to seen of first date for pizza and beer - this is the
    family anniversary, with all the kids.

    "hints for newly married men" ... well ... DON'T forget the anniversary
    date !!!
    
    Fortunately, I had a good secretary and she assumed responsibility for
    insuring that the wife always got red roses on the anniversary date.
