New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Mr. and Mrs. Confidential celebrate 15 years of marriage.
As this adventure through life has progressed, we've come to understand that there are quite a few opportunities to celebrate in the dead center of summer.
Diana was born on the 5th of July, a day after the 4th of July national birthday, and July 6 is the anniversary of her reclamation of British citizenship. The 21st is our wedding anniversary, and my family reunion (mom's side) always falls on the same weekend. August 3 is my birthday, and August 1 is Pints&union's birthday.
Rather than risk giving too little attention to these milestones, we've resolved to celebrate for a whole month. It's the least we can do.
Today (Sunday) was our 15th wedding anniversary. Yesterday we spent in Madison at the reunion, and earlier this evening there was a very fine meal at Brooklyn & The Butcher (There'll be more to say about this in a separate post).
The traditional 15th wedding anniversary gift is crystal. I hoped we might make do with this photo of the Rogaška Crystal shop in downtown Ljubljana, Slovenia, where we'll be visiting in November.
They might at least allow a selfie from the sidewalk before rousting us for vagrancy.
Happy anniversary to the missus, my partner in life. We fit, and we complete each other. This is a state of affairs I never imagined having the good fortune to enjoy, and you can bet I'm grateful for it.
