Boy, that was a heavy day’s blogging. Made a few more enemies; made a few

more friends; so it goes. Now the sun is setting over Long Island & I am

taking Rosie out to dinner. Today is our 17th anniversary. I thank God

for sending this sweet, patient woman my way, for giving her the strength to

put up with me all those years, and for the greatest of all his blessings:

our children.
