It's like you're thinking of a plate, or shrimp, and then all of a sudden, there's a plate of shrimp in front of you.

I didn't appreciate the Carpenters at the time.

ceremony 52 years ago. Service was conducted by a cigar-smoking Catholic chaplain from Brooklyn at Kirtland AFB, NMex and Karen's song along with Paul Stokey's (Peter, Paul & Marry) "Wedding Song" and "Put Your Hand In the Hand" constituted the music.

Along with the small wedding party, in lieu of a rehearsal dinner, we took everyone in the choir to a local fancy ice cream shop and celebrated in style.
