"The prize of all too precious you"

 Yes, October 18 measured 10 years of marriage and we celebrated with a long weekend in Ashland, site of one our most romantic dating-era getaways. We toured Southern Oregon University, shopped downtown, walked in the park and best of all -- attended two Shakespeare Festival shows! And we did a backstage tour with a OSF stage manager guide; she was so great we couldn't wait to get home and tell Jess we had found a perfect career for her.

"Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love."
