Lis and I were in the car and listening to "The Playground" on WERS, which is a show on the Emerson College radio station which plays kids' music. And they played that wonderful Barnes and Barnes classic, "Fish Heads". I started to mention to Lis that, for my 21st birthday, the Koller-Fox family put together a filk of the song in my honor, for very lose definitions of "honor". Lis interrupted me and said, "I remember -- I was there."

My jaw dropped open. I have been romantically involved with my wife since before I was old enough to drink legally in the Massachusetts. I've been with Lis for fifteen years.

That you have, and it's been wonderful to know you both for all these years. :)
(I remember that filk too -- it was the first time I heard of the song "Fish Heads", no less.)

I've been married to Paula since I was 18. That was 1972.

Sez the person who just aged a year. Belated happy birthday from one who beat you by many years and a day!

(Don't worry; I'm still young, too!)
