I missed my 25th. due to a system that had died. Our anniversary is on 
12/29, so it is hard to make reservations anywhere, never mind change 
them. On the early morning of the 29th I had to fly out to Vegas for a 
supposed dead system not booting. Got there and found somehow the boot 
drive cables (both data and power) had loosened up. Re-seated both all 
was fine except it was already close to mid-night on the 29th my return 
flight was not until late the 30th and my hotel reservation got screwed 
up, so I had no place to stay. My credit card was close to maxed so I 
went to the airport and was ble to change my flight and got home at 5AM 
on the 30th. I was unable to change our 25th anniversary reservations, 
leaving me in the dog house for that one.
