A Simple Fact: My husband and I are probably having this exact conversation as you read this.

Sad Fact: This is not the first time we've had this talk.

Places We've Had A Version of This Conversation: Chicago, Rome, Paris, Savannah, Tybee, Miami, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Atlanta, Hilton Head, Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, once in Midway Airport, and twice in the Vatican Museum.
