cinquo de enero.

  If my accomplishment was from over the border, perhaps I could apply the term to this Spanish phrase.  But since all the production commemorated here came with my butt firmly applanted to my nice Ekornes recliner in my living room, we’ll be happy saying “happy 5th anniversary”.  We had another little celebration in the interim, so I forgot the anniversary date (1). What started as a soft spot for reminiscing about a departed friend came a forum for all sorts of expression. from sports to family to COVID to music and food.  Bundling blogs according to topic made for several books, and should in the future.

I’m a little tardy here, as I posted my first blog on January 11, 2020.  I had quite a fury after that.  Bundling blogs according to topic made for several books, and should in the future.  All the entries about gifts for this momentous anniversary focus on those for a wedding anniversary.  I suppose 5 years of marriage is worth celebrating these days, but I recall that day went whoosh right past.  If you were bequesting a 5th year anniversary, it could be a wood object, sapphires, blue and pink daiseys, and silverware.   Please keep to yourself, as Kathy and I have all we need.  Those words will pour out regardless of who leans on us.  Please stay tuned and know we’re always on the lookout.

I retired from the Rheumatology division of Michigan Medicine end of June '19 after 36 years there. Upon hitting Ann Arbor for the second time (I went to school here) it took me almost 8 months to meet Kathy, 17 months to buy her a house (on Harbal, where we still live), and 37 months to marry her. Kids never came, but we've been blessed with a crowd of colleagues, friends, neighbors and family that continues to grow. Lots of them are going to show up in this log eventually. Stay tuned.
