Today (24 May 2015) is my 14th wedding anniversary. And yes - it’s a happy one! (Unfortunately my wife isn’t a Doper. If she ever chose to be one, though, I think she’d make a GREAT one!) ---

I’m done with school! Somehow this slacker B student in high school managed to graduate college magna cum laude 20+ years later. ---

It’s my 25th wedding anniversary! On this day in 1990, on a very hot summer day in Vermont, my true love and I were married in her hometown’s little Episcopal church, surrounded by family and friends. We’d met five years earlier on a college semester abroad in London, and almost immediately felt the attraction. And now a quarter century has passed - hard to believe! My wife and I have had our ups and downs, of course, but we are and have been so very blessed - we have our good health, three fine sons, a dopey dog, an ornery cat, a nice house and so many other good things in our lives. ---
