I'm a bit pessimistic about where this country is going, the health of our planet, and future for mankind in general. But when it comes to my personal life, i've never been happier.

Today is Jack and my 14th anniversary. We got married so young, and over the years mutual admiration really turned into something spectacular.

I had planned on taking Jack to see "World Sumo League 2006 Mega Tour" and had the tickets, sitter and surprise all set up. Jack and I got into Sumo a few years back when we went to Japan. Anyway - the even has been canceled. Now I'm also out an idea for Jack (the most difficult person to shop for) Jack sent me a couple of ideas but not at all the type of unusual gift I was going for. I mean Sumo that's pretty unique!

We're heading out to dinner tonight. Hopefully inspiration will hit and i'll have a great idea soon.
