I didn't remember the timing of this.......then again I was 13, and you know, 13 year olds tend to have mush for brains. I do remember going to the Larchmont Yacht Club for your nice wedding reception. Never saw or got to ride on a boat though. Nice to know the story now.
I'M NOT crying - YOU'RE crying - for crying out loud, Basler, how could you weave such a perfect story out of the cloth of our youth and leading all the way up to our not so youthful days, that is a VIRTUAL (in both definitions of that word) and a PERFECT paen to LOVE being the answer to What is the Meaning of Life? You are the writer we all always dreamed we should be, and you and Barbara are the loves story we all wished for when we were young and starry eyed, no matter WHAT our gender identity or sexual orientation might be or have been. The owner of the lawn thanks you for this story, the new best one ever. Oh, and that is DEFINITELY the best headline of all time!!!!!
Awwww. I always wondered how you and Barbara got together so quick, wonderful to hear it told so beautifully. Cheers!
Made me laugh, too!😅
An endearing and heartwarming peek into your soul, Bob. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, of course I remember that - by the way, do you have any gin? JUST KIDDING!
So do you still have the tie?
jk, huzzah on such a great two-parter and congrats on many many happy years!

my goodness, Sandy. thank you! you will recall that was also The Evening. of the Three Bobs, and the immortal gin story....
Uh-huh...Sure...What color is the sky in your world again?
Careful, Janie. Since you show up in some of my stories they will be looking for somebody to play you. I'm taking requests. Meryl Streep? https://robertbasler.substack.com/p/alas-i-have-no-alias
This one simply gets better every time I read it. Lovely. Talk about a rom-com, complete with a great meet-cute.
Thank you, Janie. I believe a movie is in the works, with somebody named Ryan Gosling playing me...
My sentiments exactly.
Wow! What a love story! Congratulations to you both.
Reading this beautiful story lit up my heart. Congratulations to you both for finding one another and making a life together.
