My wedding ring fell apart a few days ago. A portent? No, but certainly a reminder that my marriage, like the artifact that symbolizes it, could use some care and attention. Nor is it the only such: the day counter also broke some time back and was put in the project pile where, now that I think of it, Talia's engagement ring has been languishing for years and years. Well here's one thing fixed, anyway:
| The day counter, repaired and reset |
I don't propose to fix my wedding ring myself but will instead take it back to the goldsmith who made it when next I visit Amsterdam. In the meanwhile it's still wearable and, in its shaky state, serves as a constant and welcome reminder to show more love to my sweet wife.

Happy day 7500, Talia. You are better and more true than gold.
