    Love him or leave him?

    My husband is just a brilliant man. He graduated college at 16, held the job of forensic chemist for NC at 22, etc. He really is just a brilliant man. But like most geniuses, he is not always bright. So, our wedding anniversary falls every year on 1/16. And as far as I know, that means always on the 16th day after New Year's Eve. But he keeps insisting that sometimes the 16th falls closer to the 23rd. Sigh.

    Anyway, this year he got me a dozen long stem roses and a new lens - Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. So, Should I keep him?:

    He may be forgetful, but he made up for it IMHO.

    Besides which, remember, "he's just a man".

    A fisheye is worth at least another year to try and get it right and a fisheye is certainly better than a fish head!

    Ahh, women always blaming men! You should know by now that subtle hints don't work! Skip 'em and go straight to the frying pan. Less stress for everyone!
    Nice Roses, heck of a lens.
    Love that first shot,
    Mark.

    Ok, I will keep him. And Mark, trust me, I'm never up on subtle hints. He knows the demands: Camera stuff, diamonds, camera stuff, diamonds, camera stuff, diamonds...

    Hell, if he bought me lenses like that I'd keep him.
