43 is tomorrow's number

No, that's not the predicted temperature. Tomorrow Walt and I will celebrate our 43rd anniversary of life together as a couple. We moved in together on June 1, 1983, in Washington DC. We couldn't get legally married back then, but now we are now. The wedding took place in 2012 in Albany NY. We lived in California for 17+ years before moving to France in 2003. I hope we'll be able to celebrate our 50th here in a few years.

  7. All best wishes to you both on an impressive anniversary, along with a poem from the bard:

    "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
    Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
    And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
    And every fair from fair sometime declines,
    By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed:
    But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
    Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
