As in past years, this is an April Fool's Free Zone*. Please respect this.

Today marks the Thirty-Second Anniversary of the merging of the Miller and Lee households, much to the consternation of the then-resident cats.

*...it's not that I don't have a sense of humor (which I've been told); I have a lively, if occasionally inappropriate, sense of humor. It's because April Fool's Day has, IMNSHO, become a forum for abusive behavior couched as "jokes," which allows the perpetrator to take and hold the dubious moral high ground of "You can't take a joke!"

Does that mean I can't recommend Alan Gordon's Fool's Guild series to you? Medieval mysteries with the main characters based on Feste the Fool and Viola from the Shakespeare play Twelfth Night. Very good reading, imho.

Congratulations on having made a wonderful choice 32 years ago - all of us are the richer for it!

And here's to another 32 years, if not many more than that. I'm hoping you've got an auto-doc in your parlor? That way we can contiue to appreciate you guys and your work in perpetuity.

=)

Congratulations!! Did you ever get the cats to like or even tolerate each other? My husband of only 3 years had only one cat (an autistic Abyssian mix) and introducing him to the five cat Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde was... interesting.

I am extremely glad that you merged your households, your writing skills, and your cats. I enjoy hearing about all three (and reading the results of the second!). May your love grow like Korval's Tree.

Congratulations! One more year and it comes of age as a hobbit. (It is now a "space character" (hex20, ASCII 'space'), make of that what you will...)

Happy Anniversary!
If only all April Fools day jokes turned out this well, I'd be a happy fool forever.

Happy Anniversary, and I (whatever number) the many statements of joy at your combinatorial results. It's an interesting span of time. And many more!

Happy anniversary!

which allows the perpetrator to take and hold the dubious "moral high ground"

Fixed that for ya.

The only April Fool's Day jokes I appreciate are the clever fake news stories, and not the ones where idiot radio personalities say that various people have died and later rightly get fired for it. I like the sort like today's NPR spot talking about how Congress was taking a page from impoverished school districts that have been forced to shorten school calendars. Yes, going forward, all months, with the exception of February, will have no more than 29 days. This will save us millions. MILLIONS, I tell you.

I thought it was cute.

"You can't take a joke!"

The appropriate counter is, of course, "you can't take a punch!"
