Back at you old friend. I always joke about this time of year, telling folks that today marks the anniversary of the US earning its independence and tomorrow marks the anniversary of when I lost mine. Since Rita's b'day is 6/19 and the anniversary is 7/5, for years I've told her we need to celebrate on just one day in the middle, maybe 6/27. First time I jokingly suggested it, it went over like a fart in church even though she knew it was a joke. Now as a gag, on the 27th each year I often give her a card that says "Happy Birthsary."
