I'll have to say that my husband has always astounded me with his knowledge and intelligence. I remember sitting in law school, listening to him tell the aged professors that they were wrong about some arbitrary legal theory. Back then he was just the blond guy at the end of the row that used to lean back when I walked by in order to cop a cheap feel. I usually agreed with him, but it was certainly never anything I could have come up with off the cuff.

But he has taken to new levels.

Today he came home from the podiatrist's office with a doctor's note saying he could not, and I quote, "mow the lawn." That's right. I was breathless. The brilliance of it practically took me off me feet.

So there I was, mowing the lawn tonight.
