My wife and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary today. That’s awesome! For that reason, I’m re-posting a memoir I wrote commemmorating that special day.

I’m really digging Leonard Sweet’s book SoulSalsa even though I’ve only read through two chapters so far.

It’s beautiful outside today. I’m wearing shorts so that gives you an idea of just how warm and gorgeous it is outside. I wear jeans roughly 340 days of the year, so this is one of those rare 25 days that I break down and show some leg. (It doesn’t matter that I haven’t been…
