We were married on January 5, 1994 in our living room, on a snowy afternoon in front of the fireplace. Getting married was not my idea. It was Carlton’s. As these pictures clearly show. We had been together 15 years. It was working. So, why fix it? Carlton said – I didn’t have to consider it a marriage, I could just consider it a business merger. But, getting married was “the right thing to do”, just like moving to the asylum was “the right thing to do”.
BTW – Carlton was the wedding planner. He made ALL the arrangements. Today would also be Carlton’s 44th AA anniversary.
I still wear my wedding ring. I still consider myself Carlton’s wife. Which is sort of funny since I refused to change my name. And, no, now that he is gone, I don’t regret not changing my name.
This one is for all my new friends at the Asylum. Carlton was a volunteer at GHBC then and he drafted me to come down and sing Xmas carols. Not because I wanted to, because I could sing harmony.

Thinking seriously about flying into LA then taking the train to DC. An expansive trip would include a detour to the Grand Canyon. Amtrak runs a bus – to GRCA. There is also a frou-frou excursion train. Gotta check out the details. And, the “normal” weather in early March. I will not go on a mule ride at my advanced age. Nevermind that I don’t have any long pants. Or boots.
Planned activity: parasailing. That would be here in Kona. Maybe on Jan 20th???
