Bon Anniversaire




Ten years ago, on July 5, 1998, Richard and I tied the knot in an inauspicious event. My father officiated. As the only remaining parent, he represented a since-gone generation. My sister, Karla stood up for me, and Richard’s friend, Mark stood up for him. About 40 of our friends and family attended. Had we mentioned “free dinner” we might have gotten a few more to show up, but we never have been that needy.

It’s been a great ride. Some of the lows have been harsh and required some serious adjustments. And some of the highs have been truly unbelievable. But, the day-to-day stuff has been the cement that works.

Richard, give me 10 more and I promise to keep it interesting.
