HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, POP!

oh, sure - you all thought our anniversary was new year's eve...so did i...

for many years now, this date has held more water in our relationship - apparently it is the date of either our first date or our first kiss - and to think, i thought we kissed on our first date.

as nancpop so fondly likes to remind me, "what's it been now, 35 or so years?" could be - i went an entire year here awhile back thinking i was one year older than i was so when my birthday time of year rolled around - WHOOOOOOOOOOOPEEEEE - i was actually a year younger!

Lord, it is good being me! as you all know, pop is my ballast, my steady, my anchor, my lover and my best friend in the real world - there really is no better man perfectly suited to my quirky ways. you may ask, "yeah, but does he complete you?" and i respond, "well, remember that 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle you bought at a yard sale a few years ago and you worked on it for a solid month, only to get to the very end to find there was ONE STINKIN' PIECE missing?" need i say more? you just accept the puzzle as it is, imperfections and all so i said to him, "okay, you can stay..." or something like that...

my sincerest thanks to our hairdresser/photographer/magicman/possible reuter's employee - only he and two others hold the original to this particular shot. so far, only one person has threatened blackmail...
