bordered
Mister Boyfriend The Husband has pointed out to me that I have now visited aquariums and bodies of water on all four borders of the country:
- Aquariums: Baltimore, New Orleans, Monterey, Duluth
- Water: Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, Lake Superior
Wedding and honeymoon pictures to come eventually, I promise.
In related news, I am not sure what to call the former Mister Boyfriend on this blog. I could just call him by his given name, but that’s no fun. I could call him Mister Husband (and I’m tempted), but SJ used to call her ex Mister Husband before their long, difficult divorce earned him the title Seattle Federline, so that seems like bad juju. (Welcome back, SJ!) I could call him the Companion or Beloved Partner, but those have been done. So perhaps “The Husband” is the better part of valor. Either way, he’ll certainly love that last sentence.

Perhaps "manpanion" would be in order?

In an effort to practice undeviating gender neutrality, a former colleague of mine always referred only to a spopuse, never a “husband” or “wife” (I think saying “partner” might have allowed a possibility for which the world was not then ready). Another colleague-couple and Margaret and I thereafter referred to one another as “spousal unit” or “spouse man” and “spouse woman.”
Of course, we can hope he is still your Boyfriend, in which case “Mister Boyfriend” would still do admirably.

What's really scary is that BP has now started referring to himself in the third person as "BP," when he's annoyed: "Did you consult with BP before you did that?"
