What exactly are you implying...

Probably just that he's seen examples of great relationships that came apart in 20 to 25 years of total marriage. Which while likely true...was kinda in poor taste.

As one about to celebrate 30 years, the single biggest piece of advice I can give to anyone younger is this: First, don't allow your identity to be in your things, or career, or kids, or physical attributes. Know who you are and what you believe outside of anything else. Second, build your relationship based on a friendship with the true identity of your mate.

Life is change. Stuff comes and goes, looks mostly go, kids grow up, jobs grow stale. If you make your relationship a friendship based one who you really are...the only constant...you'll go the distance. Never become so wrapped up in what you are doing at the moment that you don't take time to date your mate...lest you wake up after 20+ years of career building and child rearing and wonder who the heck that is sleeping beside you. It happens. A lot.


Edit: Sorry Sam. Like others, it sounded like a reference to the wife...not the kids. And yeah...I have two young adult daughters...there is a bit of drama.

Hahaha. Whoa people. Overreact much?


I was simply implying that around that timeline you will have three teenage girls, which I have heard gets a bit difficult with all the drama and such. So I was implying you may not feel so lucky then.

And I will be in the same boat with you. My girls are 3 and 2. And I have another baby on the way - gender unknown right now.

Throwaway comment meant no harm intended...that's how I took it.

My orders here in the Indianapolis are end soon and it doesn't appear that we will be staying here. I turned down the El Paso opportunity though. My old boss has been bugging me to come work for her in DC though and that is a much more appealing location change to my wife (aka Livingroom 6). So if everything falls into place it looks like my clan is going to the Cap. Thank you for asking.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good location to live in the DC area?

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is nice. The place could use someone with some common sense. :)

10 years, this April. Told her on the third date I was going to marry her. She was a two sport athlete in college and, aside from me having a height advantage of over one foot, she's the better athlete...and just better, overall, at everything else.

First game we went to was the Florida game in '04...Wilhoit's kick.

We have our third girl 2 weeks before our 10th anniversary in April...my second is in my lap as I type this.

I'm a lucky man.

I have three girls. The oldest is almost 10. I haven't had to kill any young men just yet but I have several under surveillance as we speak... :ninja:

That's what I thought...just wanted to check.:)

...and I've already begun concocting a plan to build a basement in my house in about 10 years or so, so I can go and live there when I have three teenage girls in the house.

As for you other knuckleheads on here who decided to elucidate on my marriage...keep it classy. Fo' real.

Had a good friend of mine just move back home after living in DC for the last few years. He said urban DC is...less than appealing.

He said the Alexandria, VA area was very nice, however.

I live in MD and while Northern VA is very nice it is also more expensive and has worse traffic IMO. Annapolis is a nice city and a quick drive into DC, depending on where you're driving to. Metro is a good option for getting into DC vs driving. Keep us posted on where you end up. Lot of VFLs up here.

A couple slit wrists, a few janitorial comments thrown, but that's pretty much it other than the usual "bad hire good hire" debate.

You know this is why they hate us. Can you imagine being outnumbered at EVERY sporting event and hearing that from your rival? We get riled up enough when Bama buys more than their usual allotment even though percentage wise they're less than a drop in the bucket at Neyland.

I love it. :)

I would love it if he reads VN and started off with a comment about "sanitizing" any misgivings about how he plans to run the offense moving forward.

Their fans on Twitter are really sad. Posting pictures of Vandy's World Series win last year in baseball as a rebuttal to the "OurState" tweets. Like anyone really cares. South Carolina won it twice in a row and their fans barely mentioned it. Vandy acts like it somehow makes up for their absolutely dismal football and basketball programs.

Serrano will have UT's baseball team competitive again soon enough, and until that happens, 99% of our fanbase will be plenty happy watching us lap the West Enders in recruiting and on the field/court in the two main sports.

The "OUR STATE" thing is comical...because one of OUR COACHES came up with it...Mark Elder in response to a Tweet from a Vandy fan who put out "Our City" when Elder was recruiting in Nashville. :haha_oh:
