44 Huzzahs

Today I’m thinking about the 17th century–I’m at the 13th International Milton Symposium–but also, and even more intensely, about July 14, 1979, when Alice and I were married.

The beautiful Lady Alice

This is popularly known as Durham Castle, but of course for these 44 years it’s been how I imagine my own good fortune in wooing and winning this lady.

Eventually even commoners like me may ascend if they “marry up,” as I certainly did.

No wonder I’m smiling

Yes, it’s the Yeats Tower, but it does serve to illustrate my ongoing glee.

Happy 44th, m’lady! I pray for many more.
