55 years ago today

When I was first getting to know Stanley, oh some seven or eight years ago, I asked him what day his birthday was. He told me, “The same date John Lennon was killed.” As if I didn’t remember that in a nanosecond. I said, “Oh, you mean on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, eh?” At which he looked appalled.

It took longer to get to the year that he was born. He tried to tell me first that his memory of childhood is lousy, so he doesn’t remember when he was born.

He said the other day that the reason I married him is because he makes me laugh, and that he’ll be in trouble if he doesn’t amuse me anymore. The man is brilliant!

Happy birthday my love.
