Now...

I had started a new practice. Why?

To get a rise out of my husband?

Because it was fun?

Because despite everything (aka his spontaneous bear-like grumpy tendencies) I wasn't scared of him?

All of the above?

The practice was, calling my husband every three hours. Why? The answer was many-fold.

The first time, I'd forgotten how to spell the word among. Something about the word just looked wrong and the longer I stared at it, the worst it became.
