On the forthcoming Friday the 13th, Ms. Ear and I will be celebrating our 10th year of marital bliss.
I'm in need of a few good ideas for a gift, activity or something else which would make it clear to a person's friends that the person's husband is not the jack-ass he appears to be but is rather really very romantic and perhaps worth trying to have an affair with. Ms. Ear's suggestion for a theme, "Aren't you dead yet?" doesn't carry the right pizzazz for a milestone such as a decade of only having sex with one person.
Does anybody have any good 10th wedding anniversary suggestions? I think Ms. Ear has stopped reading this blog, but, just in case, use code-names.

You make marriage sound so enviable. Where do I sign up?
I think I would get her a cajun crawfish boil. I rather enjoyed that last time at Alceste's; the andouille was especially tasty. I don't see why anyone wouldn't find that special, thus she could brag to her friends (the official measure of any relationship involving human females--just look at the ceremony of engagement rings, if you don't believe that statement) and if she's lucky, she just might find her a smitten Bayou kitten at the Fais do do. If the Two-Steppin' Surgeon can do it, anyone can.
Hi OneEar,
LMAO: the label for your post “10, grueling, long, years” isn’t exactly politically correct for such a momentous occasion. I sincerely hope Ms. OneEar has stopped reading your blog, for you sake! You may have to do some back peddling for that comment if she sees it.
Instead of tin or aluminum which are the traditional 10th anniversary gifts, why not try a love poem in a pewter frame. Or a pair of engraved pewter candlesticks, a plate or a vase which would show Ms. OneEar how much she means to you every time she looked at it.
Diamond earrings or a chic watch are always nice gifts. Have you considered a get-away weekend for the two of you to a fancy schmancy hotel/resort? You could shower her with your undivided attention and wine and dine her in a gourmet restaurant and maybe spend an afternoon in the spa together.
You could go out in the back yard and burn or blow up something that would create some dynamic fireworks…you seem to excel in that arena.
CONGRATULATIONS to you both!
Hi Doc Bok,
Do I detect a note of sarcasm in your comment about marriage sounding enviable? It’s not actually all that bad, IF you find a suitable partner as opposed to a warden...
Hi OneEar,
Here's another idea for a gift for Ms. OneEar: Vermont Teddy Bear
OneEar!!
Don't fall for Litzi's traps!!
It's a trick--watch out!!
Litzi, how does one go about finding someone "suitable" as you say? If you buy a pre-owned vehicle, you can always go to carfax.com to get the low-down.
Hi Doc Bok,
Hmm…what “traps”? OneEar requested some suggestions for Ms. OneEar’s and his 10th anniversary and I gave him a few ideas. None of them are hazardous to his health or well-being, though they might put a dent in his wallet.
How do you locate a “suitable” significant other? You could try the “Blue Book” or registry of socially prominent persons (as opposed to the periodically issued price list of used cars). Perhaps it’s merely luck of the draw…keep trying till the right one “clicks” or you get too old and jaded to care anymore.
Hope I'm not too late:
An envelope of cash (preferably new bills) is always nice.
In fact, why not give her 10 shiny new pennies so that every time she visits the Lincoln Memorial she'll think of you.
"Pennies From Heaven"?? or in this case, from OneEar's pocket...
