Lat Mai Kai on our anniversary

Not that it was the defining moment of our anniversary. In fact, to be perfectly honest, it wasn’t even our anniversary really. It was the weekend before. I ended up having it quite by accident, huffing and puffing, while my wife watched in silent disgust. She is an animal lover you see. Now, I hope you don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t like sheep with lipstick. Allow me to explain. January 28 is a day that I am not likely to forget, or be allowed to, for all the years to come.

What is a good word count limit for a first blog? 176 seems to be as good a number as any so I will stick with it. Until next time.
