Today is my parent's 37th Wedding Anniversary.
37 Years of Marriage. I got married earlier this year, for those who are just dropping in, and already can see the amount of work it takes to keep things going in a marriage. Finances, friendships, time management, shared schedules, time with each other, all of it takes a lot of communication and loving intent.
And loving intent, for anybody who has ever worked in customer service, ain't always easy to come by.
My parents are human and I have heard them laugh, sing, tease, laugh, joke, fight, yell, sigh, groan, and be fully themselves around us as a family. That made it much easier for me to understand that being a husband isn't about being SuperHuman, or Superman. It's just about being as loving, patient, and open as possible. My dad did a phenomenal job of loving and providing for us. My mom did a fantastic job of keeping us on schedule and coordinating family time and doing it with love. And they each gave Katie and I more than enough time and space to become ourselves, and still nurturing their own marriage and relationship.
Today is also the anniversary of two other Husband-Wife combinations that had a profound impact on my life. Bruce & Marilyn Amer and John & Barb Reeder. Happy Anniversary y'all!
Love somebody a little more today, even if it's just an extra $1 tip getting coffee, or letting someone over in traffic and withholding the middle finger greeting.
Happy 37 Years, Mom & Dad!

I Wrote Me Some Spec
YO!
This goes out to anybody who can help a brother out.
As you know, my background in cookbook photography led me to my current love of writing and small-animal drug-testing. Marmots "like," they do not "love" cherry NyQuil. Another time, how 'bout?
I wrote a spec script for a popular TV sit-com, or "show," and need to get it in front of every person with any kind of connection that I possibly can. I have it in the hands of two agents right now, but they are too busy representing people in Los Angeles who are in movies and television and commercials and make a lot of money doing what I ought to be doing.
SO, if anybody reading this has that kind of connection, and/or a good stuffed chicken-breast recipe, send me an email at GBLott at Hotmail dot com.
If I put the address there, it's gonna really get spammed. And honestly, if I could pay $660 a month for a $500,000 mortgage, I wouldn't need a boner pill.
Not that I need one know, I'm just saying, you know, if that were TRUE, you know, a rate like that... no need for a pill that... you get the picture.,
