A special shout out to my parents who today have been married longer than the number of years remaining in my life (statistically speaking). I've admired your laughter, your hugs, and your treating each day like a gift (or a really bad joke). Happy Anniversary!

William Shakespeare from
Sonnets, Songs, and Poems
edited by Henry W Simon, 1951 edition
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor man ever loved.
