Is she listed as the beneficiary on your insurance policy?
If she gives you gift certificate to Dr. Chung for a medical
checkup, look over your shoulder. :) :)

My only suggestion, finish school first, maybe get a job and
then entertain kids. I did it the other way and it really
made for additional pressure. Besides, it will give you a
chance to practice a lot so when you finally decide it's
time you'll be in mid-season form. ;)

Well I hope you have a good excuse for your reply
being so tardy!

Oops, just seen your wedding photos. I suppose that counts
as a good excuse. ;-)

Congratulations!

Ditto but I still think it would have been better to
get a puppy.

I did but I'll add it to my sag file as a reminder. I'm
going on my 36th year of marital abuse. Woe is me!
