You and Meade 16 years? If so, congrats.
I checked out the link, and not sure what I saw.

Nice cheeks.

Well...it's not the anniversary of the Althouse Blog. At least not according to Grok. And Lord knows I never remember. It's gotta be either your 16th year of marriage to Meade, or your 16th year of knowing Meade, or your 16th year of waking up too early, going out for a nice morning walk.
Or possibly your 16th year since you quit eating popcorn.

LOL, I had the wrong link.

Fixed!

But of course with the spread of literacy you now tend to get girls who have thought and feeling too, in some measure, and some of them will probably belong to the Royal Philological Society or something, or in any case have their own 'thing,' which must be respected, and catered to, and nattered about, just as if you gave a shit about all this blague. But of course we may be different, perhaps you do care about it. It's not unheard of.

BUMBLE BEE ayon kay ...

Congratulations going out to you "kids".

Quayle ayon kay ...

if I recall correctly, Ann, just after your marriage you posted a general request for ….. I don’t believe, you specifically labeled “general marriage advice” … but ask for input on marriage of some kind, and you got a lot of responses. I would be interested to see a curated compilation of that list and also to know which ones you now think we’re most cogent or valuable.

Congratulations!!

Jamie ayon kay ...

Congratulations! How many people can say that a community like this - in which almost none of us has ever met in person - was the starting point of such a long and beautiful relationship?

And of that number, how many can say they founded and fostered the community? Way to make your own luck, Althouse!

Aggie ayon kay ...

More of a Happy Beginning than a happy ending - but many happy returns for the years to come !

A joy to witness. Many more happy years.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Sincere thanks. I'm too damned lazy to manage a crazyhouse like this. So I truly appreciate Althouse and Meade and a place they let some intelligent free speech happen in response to her original musings and questions.

It's a great experiment. This is the only comment section that has the self-control to not turn into what ALL the other ones have.

Sixteen years of happiness and free speech amid sixteen years of Madison-sponsored craziness. What an achievement. You two lived well in "interesting times", as they say. May you have another sixteen and more in uninteresting times.

Congratulations!

Nicholas ayon kay ...

Ann, greetings from England and congratulations, I have read your blog almost every day since your reports of what I guess we would now have to call the insurrection at the Madison Capitol. The sheer eclecticism of your posts makes this something well out of the ordinary on the AI driven internet of today.
