One year ago today...

I did the best and smartest thing I have ever done, and married elf_amazon , positively the most amazing girl I have ever met (and I have met a lot, friendslist, after all:  I know a bunch of you!).  This last year has been sunny, snarky, geeky, and literate.  I have been quoted at and understood when I quoted.  I have been cared for, tended to, and possibly pruned when I started growing in the wrong directions.  I have been edited fastidiously and with razor-edged care and zero indulgence.  I am as happy as I could ever imagine being, and sometimes happier.

Happy anniversary to me, and may I still be as sensibly grateful seventy years down the line.

Thank you, darling.  You mean the world to me, and leave me speechless (quite a feat, as anyone knows).
