Running hither and yon and back again to hither, my Bajan guy and I secured a marriage license. We lined up a magistrate. Reserved the upstairs of a fabulous seaside restaurant. Invited our beloved families. And got hitched. Last Friday.
So, no, despite a number of queries from you all, I did not drop off the end of the earth … although I’m sure those more cynical than I would call getting married just that.
More on the marriage another time. Just wanted to check in. And I’m wondering … Where does one honeymoon when the wedding’s in paradise??
Barbados wedding: MINE!

Actually, everyone we encountered during this process was really nice and sincerely happy for us. Seeing people in love – maybe particularly old people like my partner and me – perhaps gives people a little joy in their work. Maybe even, for the singles “of a certain age” out there, hope.
Stephen, I love that you posted a photo. It’s nice to “see” the people I converse with. Thanks for doing that.
If you’re old then I’m ancient. You must be young!
You’re only as old as the person you feel, or something like that.
Hahaha … Where did that saying come from, um, Donald Trump? J. Howard Marshall? Michael Douglas?
