THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO
Today at around noon EST, Queen Elizabeth II passed Queen Victoria to become the longest serving British monarch in the history of the nation.
Two hours before the English people noted that milestone, an almost equal amount of reverence was given to the fact that at 10.00am EST on December 20th, 1969 Gill and I were married.
Liz was still on the throne back then of course, the Beatles had turned psychadelic and weird and no one on the planet could even conceive of iPhones.
My how things have changed - except for the conviction that has grown over the years that young as I was, I made the smartest move of my life that winter afternoon!
