I made a special note to compliment Gary this Sunday, and it only took a few hours for him to do something compliment-worthy. He opened a jar that had been locked down with fifteen year old paint. He struggled as much as I did, then he gently tapped it on the counter and it opened right up, and then, shall we say, I opened right up, because it was very exciting.
“Ooh,” I said, “You are a big, strong jar-opening man.”
The next day, when he adeptly scooped up the cat and put him in the carrier, it was “You are a big, strong jar-opening, cat-wrangling man.”
By the end of the day Monday he was a big, strong, jar-opening, cat-wrangling, straight-parking man.
Really, I’m just writing this post because I sense that he’s going to want this to continue and I won’t remember the sequence.

There is an entire 19th century party game built around having to remember an increasingly-long sequence. But not of compliments to Gary…
(this is hilarious, good work.)
(but now what happens if he parks crooked?)
KC – If he parks crooked it will have to be, “Remember when you parked so straight that one time? Today you parked crooked. Are you sick? Because you usually park so straight.”
Only accurate if he does usually park straight, but otherwise, I can see that…
KC – he’s a park shamer. Makes me re- park.
