Today is Valentine's Day, and in honor of this holiday, I am featuring a photograph of my then-wife Lisa and myself down in Stuart, Florida back in March of 1985. That was 40 years ago, which is a lot of time under the bridge (the Palm City Bridge), as seen in the background of the photo. Astute Stuart, Florida aficionados will recognize that the bridge was still a single span at the time that photo was taken. And let me tell you, it was no joy living close to that bridge as they pounded the pilings into the St. Lucie River while building the second span. But I digress. Lisa and I always enjoyed our time down in Florida and visited not only my mother Mary in Stuart, but Lisa's grandparents, too, who lived across the peninsula in Venice, Florida. We divorced a little over 2 years after that photo was taken. We still keep in touch, but for both of us, it seems like a different lifetime. Hopefully, most of you out there are still together and will enjoy a pleasant and happy time. Happy Valentine's Day!
