Yesterday, July 28, 2009, my wife and I woke up and went about our business like any other day. We cleaned the house, continued to unpack from the move and even put the bed on it’s frame, it was still on the floor.

At the same time my band and I had to be at an event that evening in Springfield, MA so my wife, baby and I needed to get ready early so I would have time to setup my drums, and as we were heading out the door around 6:30PM my wife gets a call from her niece; HAPPY ANIVERSARY! she exclaims. I could not hear anything from the other end but my wife immediately says, “it’s not today”, then she turns to me and asks for the date to which I said, “I DUNNO”. Turns out it was July 28th and it was our 2 year anniversary and we totally and utterly forgot.
