Again, as usual, I am seated watching the archaic traditions leaving no assumptions for what is to happen at this ceremony that has been held every year since 1877.

We do not celebrate wisdom, because it comes with age. Many fear age while never gaining its wisdom. Youth spends money, wisdom would never consider.

Our family, our children, forty years we made. The mind-numbing daily routine we made. Our separate sleeping bedrooms we agreed.
