My goodness--Anniversaries and anniversary presents.  This is definitely
welcome news.

Now, as soon as I figure out how to stop this giddy laughter, I'll have
to find someone in my neighborhood that can do a decent printing and
binding job for a reasonable price.  Then I'll have to find myself a
cushy job where I can kick back and read this, without the resulting
conspicuous drop in productivity or anything...

OK, that last bit might be a mild exaggeration, so I'll stop mindlessly
gushing with gratitude before I make a hopeless fool of myself (hey...I
know what you're thinking, and that's not nice--you cancel that reply
right now, mister...).
