The other night Allen spruced up my blog and added some gadgets on the sidebar. As he was adding the "label" bar, he noticed he only had one label. I tried to reassure him that this was mainly for my memories about the kids, but he still looked envious.
So, here is a memory of Allen. Last Saturday he spent 3 hours helping me with a yucky statistics class I am taking. He is a very good teacher and helped me get the big picture. I am grateful for this wonderful husband. He also has listened to me talk about other classes I've taken, like Psychology of Gender. A subject that I find very interesting and he has no interest at all. But he sat there and listen to me tell him "interesting"things I was learning. Things like, Female patients are more likely to have tests ordered for them by female doctors than by male doctors. Isn't that interesting? And because of these great qualities of Allen, it is easier for me to look past the growing pile of dirty clothes on the bedroom floor or the sweaty basketball clothes over the tub that are still sitting there 3 days later. Balance is the name of the game I guess.
Do you feel better now Allen? I hope so.

Oh Allen, your wife loves you one label more than the boat now. Buy her flowers tomorrow and you may be up two on breakfast.
I like reading your blog, Julie. Hope you don't mind.
