39 Years Today…
Algis Budrys Told Me To Pick Up Kris…
He wanted me to pick her up and give her a ride to a workshop in Taos, New Mexico. And I did and 39 years later we are still together. We celebrate the day we met, not so much our wedding day. Although that was fun, too.
It has been a fantastic run and I hope we can make it another 39. Wow, did we write a lot of fiction in those 39 years. Amazing.
And had a lot of fun. We can always make each other laugh.
Here are some pictures.
Love you, Kris. Thanks for putting up with me for all these years.

This year at the 5K run for Rock’n Roll. I did the half marathon the next day. Kris was the invaluable support that got me through it.
Last Year at an Aces playoff game.
One of my favorite pictures from 39 years ago…
Kris kicking my ass at the end of a 5K run.
And my all-time favorite picture from 39 years ago. I was 35, she was 25. Oh, wow, were we young.
