The poem is so very far from goofy. It’s no wonder you deserve someone as wonderful as Laurie..that’s romance, right there.

Much to the dismay of the hipsters in the family (kids, the musician nephew, grandson specifically) I like Ed Sheeran. Here’s to romance, dammit.

It seems like you have it all. I still can’t read and listen at the same time. 😂 I do like Ed Sheeran and your wonderful poem.

It’s “smoochy”, the best kind.

It is a smoochy one, Wes. Contrary Mary and I always remained in the vertical despite what some may suspect. She did have a boyfriend when we danced, military guy, and I was not one to cut in on the horizontal with him.

my whole day turned into a dance party, which just culminated in baking a batch of salted caramel brownies, while also dancing. Not a bad day at all
