It’s the day after Christmas–and let’s keep it going for a while.
It’s also the 48th anniversary of our first date, Patty and me.
We were both working at The Bayshore Independent: she was bookkeeper, I was managing (why did I almost write “manatee”?) editor. We had dinner at The Islanders restaurant–best Chinese food we ever had: long gone, alas–went to a movie (Voyage of the Damned, with its fantastic cast)–then to my favorite tavern (also long gone: and some said it was haunted) to meet my friends; and finally back to Patty’s house to have a drink and make plans for the next day.
We were engaged in early February and married August 8.
As for the video above–well, for Patty and me it’s definitely “Hallelujah!”
