"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."—Mignon McLaughlin, American journalist Jami and I got *two* meals together, just the two of us, this week for #weeklylunchwithwife.

My office for the afternoon. If you’re going to take the epic risks of business ownership, you dang well better enjoy it.

Reasons you don't delegate are all about your mindset. Identify them, you take back the power they have over you that’s keeping you stuck: 100 Reasons Business Owners Don’t Delegate https://t.co/EcyfZiMk1w

You can have great people and great results if you’ll just serve cake without icing. How to article: Build Your Core Values Cake Before You Ice It

The business owner/CEO must give a Core Values Speech to every job candidate (yes, every!). It's the last line of defense against a bad hire. More:

Exciting news! @farmerdirectfoods is now available at all @sprouts stores nationwide. Their commitment to sustainability and regenerative agriculture means you can feel good about your baking ingredients. #farmerdirectfoods #sprouts #regenerativeagriculture #climatefriendly

Why yes, that IS a teaching excellence award. I love when #weeklylunchwithwife stops at Jami Kirkvold Fulwider's office, because I get visual reminders of what an amazing nursing professor she is. #dateyourspouse

Our first Valentine's Day dinner at a restaurant in 25 years. For our entire 25-year marriage I've waited too late to make dinner reservations. This year, I made the reservation on January 1. What gets scheduled gets done, friends. #weeklylunchwithwife #dateyourspouse

Making progress with #weeklylunchwithwife! Positive: Got our just the two of us time in Wednesday (previous week it took us 'til Friday to connect). Needs Improvement: We've only actually gone out to *lunch* once. #dateyourspouse

White for her, red for me, blue (sweatshirts) for both of us. That's what happens with #weeklylunchwithwife when the work week isn't necessarily that nutty, but the weather is. #dateyourspouse

"Go ahead, improve your marriage." That was our oldest daughter after we asked her for privacy during a truly bonkers week. #WeeklyLunchwithWife just wasn't happening amid back to back to back full-day obligations, so we grabbed 30 minutes of quiet time at home. #dateyourspouse

Great way to start #weeklylunchwithwife, Year 2: 1) Shopped for our 25th Anniversary ring at the same place we bought our engagement ring ... in 1997! 2) Invited behind the counter by the man from whom we've been buying gyros for more than 30 years. #dateyourspouse

That's a wrap! Weekly Lunch with Wife 2022 concludes with our final 4 photos, including one from the ED at a rural Kentucky hospital! #stuffhappens We ended the year completing 43 out of 52 weeks. What would you want to see in a "how we did it" post? #dateyourspouse

We're running out of days in the year to share our 2022 Weekly Lunch with Wife photos, so here's the remaining four from our Omaha vacation together. Highlight: We saw Howl's Moving Castle on the big screen at Dundee Theater. #dateyourspouse

Frida Kahlo joined us for Weekly Lunch with Wife Week 33/52, part 4/7. But seriously, Cumbia was 💯. Colombian tapas: Empanadas. Montaditos, which lets you get patacones and ceviche instead of having to choose. Excellent service, wonderful ambiance. #dateyourspouse

Our first First Friday in 11 years! Jami and I used to go to gallery openings every month and then 11, 9, and 6 years ago, something happened. We started our new streak from our @airbnb condo in @oldmarketomaha, for Part 3 of 7 (!) of Weekly Lunch with Wife Week 33/52.

After 30 years (!) in Nebraska I made it to @fontenelle4est in Bellevue. A special moment at the start of a vacation weekend with Jami, where we stayed at a downtown Omaha condo and ate our way around the Old Market. So, this is Part 2/9 of Weekly Lunch with Wife Week 33/52.😄

The tiny places are the best. Korean Grill for Weekly Lunch with Wife Week 33/52. You choose your hot entrees and cold vegetable sides from a buffet table, and you get to be the only ones in the place not wearing uniforms from nearby Offutt Air Force Base. #dateyourspouse

#Nashville airport tonight: What time to arrive for an 8:55pm Southwest flight to Boston? (Friday, November 25). @Fly_Nashville

I'm already in my sweatpants when Jami learns we've got unexpected child care for the late afternoon and announces, "I'll meet you at @Piedmontbistro in 10 minutes!" So, Weekly Lunch with Wife Week 32/52 became Early Dinner with Wife. After a quick wardrobe change.
