ink The Acton Free Wednesday Oct Buying an anniversary gift taxes Smiley r ingenuity Me and the old had another wedding anniversary last week Holey Moiey how the years fly by Usually we remember our anniversary a week or ten days after it has gone by and laugh about it We don t believe much In anniversaries as do some people who squab ble all year then go out to dinner with wine and roses and are back pounding on each other within two days One year I actually remembered and brought home 18 yellow roses She fainted deed away with shock and when she came to gave me the devil for wasting all that money This year I thought about it away back in August and filed it away In my memory bank determined to surprise her this year Show her by George that there was some fire or at least a few embers underneath that wisp of smoke My first thought was to sneak off with her engagement ring and have it reset In gold I had to dismiss this idea as impractical forlwo reasons First Id have to remove her finger to get the ring to Jeweller Second ly the price of gold went up so fast it made my eyes water when I read the financial page Then I thought of a mink coat But again One was the price of minkcoau as gold The other was a conviction I held Well I worked my way down through an emerald brooch for her Irish ancestry a pearl necklace diamond earrings It was all disappointing I knew I be ripped off with emeralds she likes gold necklaces not pearl and always losing one earring like every other woman What is as useless as one diamond carting I d kill her if she lost one That one reason I got little done through August and part of September worrying about the present for this one anniversary would have I considered giving her a new car But I can even afford one for the two of us let alone one for her One after another discarded seemingly brilliant inspirations I even went to the lengths planning to sneak out in the middle of the night and painting the back stoop which she d been trying to get me to do all summer But I shuddered at the thought of painting out there all alone in the cold and dark Finally it hit me like a thunderbolt and a wave of relief swept over me I had it Something to suggest her Mother Earth qualities Something in green and gold her favorite colors Something that would suggest her sweetness juiciness tenderness Some thing she could get her teeth into instead of junk like rings necklaces fur coats Thirty three cobs of corn With the decision made I relaxed and promptly forgot all about our anniversary Shcdidnt On the fateful day home from work tossed out a few read her some interesting bits from the papers asked what kind of day shed bad All got in return was cold shoulder and hot ton She was In a bad mood Not because 1 d for gotten our anniversary Just one of those rot ten tempers women get into once in a while because they vehad to deal with the plumber and TV repairman the vacuum cleaner went on the blink all the woodwork in the house Is filthy and they scrubbed the kitchen floor and have a sore back Intheolddnys I used to pet her and pat her and promise her and she d gradually come around But I gave that up years ago It was too hard on me Nowadays I fire back What the hell biting you Cut out the self pity 1 work too you know Aw go soak your head crab And so on We usually have a good verbal set to sulk a little and the air is cleared But this lime she speared me right in the middle of one of my finest perorations Did you know this was our anniversary Talk about hitting below the belt I was stricken with remorse shame and guilt No details but we hissed and made up and I did the dishes Must say we ve weathered the storm well I was five years older than she when we were wed I now look like an elder statesman of about She looks about My hair is white hers is black Her are white mine are black It a little disconcerting when you go to a reception or some other function the host reads your name- tag and burbles
