I Know – I Can’t Believe It Either
I am, nonetheless, betrothed. The bride, Penny Paplanus, who is known on this site as Duchess Of Durham, is a delightful woman who meets my primary criterion – she’s too good for the likes of me but hasn’t figured out she could do much better.
My desperate hope is to keep her distracted with song, dance, snappy chatter, gifts, and such so she remains happy with me.
In keeping with Authors’ Axiom #1, which holds that the purpose of life is to provide material for writers, there will be future posts about Penny, the courtship, the wedding preparations, the honeymoon plans, … .
At present, however, I am a tad overwhelmed at finding myself in love again. So, for today, I will limit my offerings to sharing my bride’s favorite song, which I had the privilege of introducing to her.
Leonard Cohen – Dance Me To The End Of Love
