36th Anniversary

Today is the 36th anniversary of my & the illustrious & hard-working Mrs. coldH2O's wedding. & yes, there was no boat in the driveway. Or in the pole barn. Or in the garage (Truth be told, there is no room in the garage for anything, including a car.) The Kid called this a.m. to wish us the best. She & Luci Mae, one of The Twins were watching the early edition of BBC News. I'm also downloading & listening to some One-Man Johnson. He's a long lost friend from way back in the day. Think piano & piano player in the bed of a '56 Chevy pickup truck pounding out a hip version of Roll Out The Barrel, appropriate for Hwy. 8, heading west. Bob was in a band with a piano player at the time. While I really enjoyed those days, in reality, what I really ought to have hung onto was, of course, the truck. Materialism has always been my strong suit. I have attempted to become dialectical, but have had difficulty with that, though I continue to believe. Oh, well....
