her blind date 

couldn't see her expression 

until too late

 

Happy us

 

It's our 45th anniversary today. I honestly can say that is sort of mind-boggling. We met in a science-fiction class at KU. Favorite restaurant is closed on Sunday, 🤬, so we have to decide where to go. I suggested somewhere else today, and Bistro Italia when they're open. My present to her: a poem, as requested.
