full text: " 'Your favorite New Year's Eve ever?' I asked my husband of 10 years. I was recalling our early-romance giddy-tipsy stroll up the Champs-Élysées, champagne and kisses shared between us — but I was open to hearing his choice. Patrick smiled dreamily and said, 'The Rose Garden in Bern: snow falling softly around her.' Less gently than before, I said, 'Let's try that again. What was your favorite New Year's Eve ever — not with your ex-girlfriend, but with your wife.' 'Oops,' he said, recognizing his error. We'll celebrate our 30th anniversary in January. (He knows better by now.)
