Forty

[Drawing by me. Click for a larger view.]

Elaine and I were married forty years ago today. Our son Ben recently told us that he thinks of me as forty and Elaine as thirty-five. Which would mean that when we married, I was a newborn — zero. And Elaine was negative five.

Happy anniversary, Elaine, at all ages.

[I made this drawing with an Apple Pencil and and iPad last year. I’ve altered it to remove my glasses. I’m still not sure how to draw myself minus glasses.]

  1. Congratulations Michael and Elaine. Were it not for your picture on your blog, I'd still think of you as in your late twenties.
