Happy 40th

Congrats & much love to my in-laws as they celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Kim & TR hosted a great dinner for them and their close friends. Everyone @ Devono’s were so accommodating, right down letting Kim, Trace, Al & Judi and I belly up to the bar after all the guests were gone so we could share a relaxing post-party drink.

Kim gives me so much in this marriage. Of these gifts, her spirit during the holidays and the joy she brings to family life….exposing me to these things makes me a better man. There is a side to me that would rather spend the night in watching the stupid Giants and the stupid Patriots (I did sneak away a few times during last night’s dinner). Kim’s energy, love and joy for family doesn’t allow me to be that man. She gently encourages me to come out of the hermitage and embrace all that’s good, bad and otherwise about family life…

Thanks to my sweet wife for making this life good and thanks to my in-laws for having and raising this remarkable woman.
