It's a day for anniversaries! First,
our friends Steve Schalchlin and Jim Brochu are celebrating their 30th
anniversary (actually it's only the 29th, but that
doesn't scan as well for a title...and it will be 30 in just a year).
(but you know how those gay relationships are...I'm sure this
is just a passing whim for both of them. But in case it lasts a bit
longer, Happy Anniversary!))
Second, our friends Steve and Jan Isaacson are celebrating
their 40th anniversary
They're theater types...founders of the 30 year old Davis
Musical Theater Company...and you know how flighty those theater guys are.
I'm sure this is just a passing fad for them too. But happy
anniversary anyway, guys.
The final anniversary was the one that brought us to Santa
Barbara this week end. Our friends Dick and Gerry were celebrating
their 50th anniversary.
We were in Dick and Gerry's wedding 50 years ago and were the
only members of the original wedding party who were able to come to the
party this week end.
It was just a wonderful party, with about 40 people there to
help celebrate. There was a a beautiful BBQ dinner catered by their
friends, there were books of memories to share, and instead of a cake, a
lovely arrangement of cupcakes topped by -- I think -- the original top to
their wedding cake.
It was a loving event full of family and friends and memories
and good food and drink. I was honored to be there and happy that our
friendship has survived these 50 years.
I dunno...these kids seem to have survived too. I think
they'll go the distance.
