A Rubicon has been crossed. There we were, an adult couple on a night out, with no child in sight, and, with me confirming across a bar whether it was a merlot or a cabsav, I very nearly called my wife Mammy.

Figuratively speaking, I avoided the goalpost and ended up tangled in the back of the net but still, with no broken kneecap.
