Greatest Wife in the World

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

So several months ago I was invited by a guy I’d met through the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) to be part of a team he put together for the USBC Open in Albuquerque. But the date the team was slated to bowl was May 26, Kath and my wedding anniversary. So I went to Kath and said rather dubiously, “You wouldn’t be interested in spending our anniversary in New Mexico watching me bowl at the Open, would you?”
And she said sure. Because she is the greatest wife in the world.
So today is our anniversary, and I’m typing this while sitting in our hotel room watching the sun come up over the mountains of Albuquerque. Big sisters Shana and Gwen came up to New York to watch over their sisters so we could go off on a vacation for the first time since Caroline was born. Breakfast is on its way up (I hope) and we have a lunch date with the other folks in our bowling group (which includes bowling legend Mike Aulby.) And I bowl this evening, because the greatest wife in the world was perfectly okay with the notion of schlepping to Albuquerque for our anniversary.
All hail the greatest wife in the world.

  1. What a wife! Happy anniversary!
    And good luck at the open!
    (An aside: Every time I read or hear the word Albuquerque, I always think of Bugs Bunny)

  2. Welcome to New Mexico! I hope that you enjoy your stay here. Have you ever visited before? If you get a chance to hike in the Sandias or to ride the tram, I highly recommend it. 🙂

  12. All hail the older sisters too for schlepping it up to *shudder* New York to babysit.

  14. Well while youare here I just have to say… two words… Green Chile.
    Any thing you see on a menu that comes with it or offers green chile as an option try them and you will be hooked
    Especialy the Green Chili Stew

  17. She’s being very kind, but some wives might say they’re willing to go along while expecting their husbands to not expect them to.
    I’m guessing PAD knows his wife pretty well, so…

  18. (Down on knees in Wayne’s World: “We’re not worthy” fashion:)
    ALL HAIL KATHLEEN!!!!!!
    Happy Anniversary to you both. 🙂

  19. You do have a great wife, but I’m going to reserve the title of “greatest wife” for my own. I’m sure I’m not alone in these sentiments 🙂

  22. Very happy anniversary, and good luck tonight!
    Er… that is, this evening, when you bowl.
    …but good luck tonight too! ^_^’

  23. Congratulations to you both, that’s very cool of Kathleen.
    Of course, PAD is now totally owned for next year’s anniversary… 🙂
    Cheers.

    Certainly not among husbands who can follow out the logical inferences of the fact that their wives know where they sleep…
    I knew the current Mrs David was a cool person when i first me her, longer ago than i (and probably she) want to recall.
    Since you’re going to be bowling “this evening”, and you’re two or three time zones West of Atlanta (where it’s currently 3:45PM), as of right now i assume you haven’t yet.
    However, by the miracle of Internet Latency, i now ask “How did you do?”

  25. Isn’t this the definition of “peaking early”, though? I mean, how are you going to top an outing to Albuquerque for your next anniversary?
