Lovely photo!

I hope youʻve had a wonderful, memorable anniversary.

Your day sounds quite a bit like ours, and weʻve had much like the same observations over our 29 years together

Happy anniversary! Isn’t life the best when you’ve found “your” person? We’ve been married for 45 years, and the before times seem made up - now is what’s real.

I agree! Happy Anniversary, Lucien & Tracy! (We celebrated our 56th this year, seems like yesterday that we “plighted our troth”!!)

Awww . . . that was so beautiful, Lucia. I had chills reading our column. Happy anniversary to you and Tracy. At the end of the day, love is all that matters.

Best wishes on this important anniversary! I have been reading about the Anthony Bourdain film and remembrances and truly am tired of the chaotic accounts of sex/drugs/rock n' roll, and I am 73 and have read a lot. I was not a Bourdain fan- only saw his show once when I had TV, and disliked the swagger and brandishing of his alcoholic glass, knowing that he had been addicted before. (He was a local to me, living in Boston). I don't consider that kind of living as "really living," at any age. Have never "enjoyed" chaos (grew up with it) and worked most of my life setting it at bay. "Get thee behind me, Chaos!" or something. Not a prude or religious or any such- just don't see the value in chaotic living (or the vicarious thrill of it). And I thought "Less Than Zero" was pure 1980s trash in writing by Bret Easton Ellis. I think al of that the vicarious thrill and admiration) stems from repression, not admirable.
