Things you may want to know about Ken & Sarah today, abridged because we’re packing our bags in eight hours and being clever takes too long:

* Our anniversary is Sunday, so this weekend marks the production rollout of Husband 2.0, though, as Pastor Todd noted, our warranty is up. The fortune cookie version of my deep intellectual and spiritual insight from the past year is as follows: being married is a lot of fun, but be prepared to find out what kinds of buttheads you both are.

* We bought a digital camera (details here, here and here), and we totally love it. Sarah and I have been toting it with us everywhere we go to capture all those “special moments.” Watch this space for artsy, Dooce-inspired digital albums.

* The transmission blew on our ’93 Sunbird today as Sarah was driving through Chester. She was parked at a red light when the tranny disengaged, forcing her to coast into the Wendy’s parking lot and call AAA. All in all, it was about the best experience you could have as far as car break-downs go. We’re going to junk the “Mighty White Llama” if the garage wants to charge us any more than $500, which means Sarah gets my Accord and I ride the bus (at least for a while).

* In celebration of our anniversary, we’re going on a cruise to Bermuda. We board our ship at about 1:30 PM Saturday, so Our Story will be a bit quiet here until we get back. I thought about promising Sarah that I wouldn’t use the Internet while we were gone out of principle. Lofty ideals aside, I’m really just not going to use it because they charge $25 per day for 56K access. Lame.

Be back in a week!
