In "Knowing Bob", you will learn insights into me via the items on my desk. Things you always wanted to know but were too scared to ask. Things you will read about and then will always be scared to know me.
Here is the global view first:
And the item of the day? A picture of Lisa and I.
Lisa and I have been married 21 years as of this past July 14th. July 14 is Bastille Day (which marks the storming of the French fortress-prison) but don't get any ideas that I think of marriage as a prison. Not at all. Quite the opposite. Being with Lisa has enabled me to widen my experiences. I am a real introvert and if I followed my tendencies, I would probably usually be sitting at home. Yet Lisa takes me along with her in life and I have learned to enjoy trying the new (as long as the new does not include food.) Now, I sometimes even venture out alone!
In the picture, we are on a cruise somewhere (Bahamas maybe) and this is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us, thus it is sitting on my desk. If you look carefully, you will see that my arm is around her but my fingers are pointing out. If you glanced through pictures of us together for the first 2 decades of our marriage, you will see my hand up in quite a few of them. The reason is that I get nervous when I get my picture taken and my hand just automatically pats Lisa's shoulder, therefore often giving me the flapping look. In recent years, Lisa has taken to quietly yet fiercely whispering to me before the photo is snapped to keep my hands still!
A beautiful picture of a wonderful couple! I love you Lisa!
