Really. truly. We don't need gifts. We hesitated putting this up, but social pressure prevails. Here are a few odds and ends we especially love, or would put to good use, in the new abode.*

*if you want to give us the present of the century, come visit!! We're already going through SF withdrawal and nothing would make us happier than to have you come for a stay in Middlesex County. (Please?) Quadruple points for November-February visitors.

Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me - I've ducked it like a root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral.

You pick a society, any society, Zuni, Nudembo, Pennsylvania Dutch. What's the one thing they all have in common? Marriage. It's like a cultural hand-rail. It links folks to the past and guides them to the future.

That's not all though. Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron. What are we talking about here? Nothing less than the very tension that binds the universe. You see, when we look at marriage, people, we're are looking at creation itself.

Now are you guys cool with that?
