Yes, Dear

I had a somewhat newly married relative couple over the other night. They seem to get along, but they bicker good naturedly like they have been married much longer. I find it odd that less than two years ago, the husband was single and hanging out with us, and now he is an old married man with a kid who sits at the kitchen table and belches (Really not a big deal in my family, though).

So I felt the need to compare their situation to my own. I have yet to mention the little woman, and I have to give her a blog reference name. I think I will go with BAC. It fits, trust me. I really could say whatever I want here since she refuses to read anything I write, but once again, that's for another time.

So BAC and I had a preview of empty nest syndrome this weekend. One is abroad, and the others were gone for the weekend. We were invited to an affair for lunch, but then came home to an quiet house, and if you know anything about my house, that is really really odd.
The kids didn't come home until much later, when we went and collected them (or they may never have come back) so for those few hours it was just BAC and me. It was nice, we managed to fill those hours with conversation and quiet companionship. I can't guarantee that we could maintain that, but as a preview, the main show looks good.

Now if only the kids would call once in a while....
