The Carpetbagger is turning four tomorrow, so head on over and say congratulations.
As an aside, in what is turning out to be an annual event, I will note that I once again forgot this websites anniversary. Balloon Juice turned five on 2 January 2007, and I failed to mention it for the third year in a row (it might be the second- I am not really very good at this whole anniversary thing).
Thank goodness I am not married.

As it turns out, wives are even more demanding than blogs.

If you do get married, try to set the wedding date on your own birthday. At least you’ll have a slightly better chance of remembering your anniversary.
I’m surprised this blog is only 5 years old. It seemed like I was seeing it mentioned on The Daou Report for a long time before I decided to post a comment here, and I feel like I’ve been commenting here for quite awhile now.

5 years? that’s like 2139123 in blog years. Congrats.

Congrats, John.

Here is my means of remembering important dates [anniversary, birthday, valentine’s day, bought our house day] I cheat and use technology.
I just set these days up in my Outlook and G-mail calendars, recur them annually, and have my system send me e-mails 5 days, 2 days and the day of the event :)
Makes life easier and the wife much happier

Heh. My husband’s the one who remembers stuff like anniversaries and birthdays, not me. Might I suggest you find yourself an SO that doesn’t worry about stuff like that? Then you can both happily ignore it.

Umm, perhaps this is rather rude to point out, but John, it’s only the second day of the year, how could you forget THAT?

Nope, go for Christmas like I did. The reminders to buy her a gift are pretty hard to miss.
If you’re a cheap bastard lumping Christmas and the nuptials also cuts down the annual number of things you’ll be paying in installments by 33%.
