Happy Birthday Tracy!

8/22/2023 44 years on - what a story

We met 44 years ago — we became close in Fair Haven Park — talked most of the night — next year we’re moving NO WORRIES — to the Fair Haven Yacht Club — all of these loops

When we first got back together officially 11 — I had a hard time telling people we had dated back in High School

The instant ‘aww’ — the story unfolding in other people’s heads was too simple — too much without depth — they (seemed to) miss the complexities I favored

After a bit — I realized — this was solely a ‘me’ problem

Why not let ‘others’ derive whatever myths of joy they could from these people —

who came from these people

They probably could fill in the blanks better than I could

Besides, we have joy to spare — Happy Birthday Tracy — LOML!

Much love,
