I tried to go to Target yesterday, but I missed.

Two thoughts I had the other day when my wife and I were shopping at Target for wedding presents:

1) Shopping off of a registry (much like giving gift cards) is basically a way of telling someone how much you like them in dollars. As it turns out, I like Kyle and Chelsey about $25.

2) Why do cards (like birthday, anniversary, and wedding) have such sappy junk in them? It seems really hypocritical to me to give someone a card with words inside that you would never, in a million years, say to them in person. I hope Kyle and Chelsea are happy and have a great life, but I do not, specifically, wish them magical years full of blissful joy and the fulfillment of all their wildest fantasies and dreams. Or whatever.



A third thought: marriage is a lot like high school, and most of life: you get out of it what you put into it, and if you choose to have a good time, you usually do.
