Not just a dollar bill...

The Celtic band was belting out the usual set of popular numbers. Leaving the obvious unsaid, I sat there in comfortable silence.

As I excused myself to powder my nose, I noticed that he had pulled out a dollar bill from his pocket and had casually started folding it in an intricate pattern with effortless ease.

I was beginning to wonder about his sudden disappearance as I returned to our table, when he materialized next to me holding out an incredibly potent piece of jewelry: the printed numeral 1 forming the jewel on a perfectly fabricated dollar-bill ring!

Nine years ago.

Happy Anniversary, D!

As always, with due thanks to Robert Browning, I invite you:

Grow old along with me,
the best is yet to be.
