Thank you for all your responses. The consensus is that blogs are public space and should be treated that way in our expectations. However, all rules of proper engagement still apply: generosity, compassion, humility and grace. So the verdict is that my wife was RIGHT and that I was . . . WRONG. So the tally after 10 1/2 years of marriage is Nicki = 173 Chris = 14. Maybe when I get old and wise I'll make a comeback :)

If you care about the Church, you need to read this today:
