Walt's First Words

Well my first word was "dog", but that's another topic. For my first words on this blog I'll stay with the two incumbent topics.

TOPIC #1:

1. My fall back for breakfast is a can of Dr Pepper. (This was more frequent before Chandra stopped working and quite frequent before I was married.)
2. My fall back for dinner is a can of Dr Pepper. (This, also, was once more frequent that it is now.)
3. Wendy's, too.

TOPIC #2:
I'm not sure I can come up with 10 things that have surprised me since I've been married, but here's what comes to mind...

1. I am consistently surprised by how nice (and infrequent) a weekend with nothing planned is.
2. I am surprised by how well Chandra controls Lucy, how much Chandra takes care of Lucy, and how much fun Chandra has with the pet we referred to as "my dog" at first.
3. Like Rob, I am surprised by the amount of covers we have on our bed.  Despite feeling warmer than me consistently while we were dating, Chandra always enjoys huddling beneath our medium down comforter no matter what the season.
4. I am surprised at how rarely I see the bottom of my underwear drawer. Fact: I have not seen the bottom of any clothing drawer since Chandra stopped working.
5. I am surprised by how important it is to Chandra that I ask her deep, thoughtful questions; I am surprised by how easily she thinks of those questions; I am surprised by how stressful and difficult it is for me to think of those questions.
6. I am surprised by how little I really knew Chandra when we got married and by how very, very little I knew her when we got engaged.
7. I was surprised by how important it is to consistently pursue Chandra's heart even after having won it. Standing still in this regard is definitely moving backwards.

Also, I'm impressed with Rob's formatting. Does he edit the html?
