On this day twenty-five years ago, I got married (for the first time*) to the coolest man on Earth.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There he is in a pic I took of him some months previously, by the boathouse on Central Park Lake. That afternoon seems like about ten minutes ago, some ways. And even after two and a half decades spent being with this man and learning his complexities, the experience never gets old. My life and my work would be utterly empty without him: his presence and his gifts inform everything I do.<\/p>\n

He contains multitudes. Hotshot novelist, gourmet cook, indefatigable researcher (“Are you still<\/em> on TV Tropes??”), crazed modeller, retrotech geek, artist, sound effects specialist, raconteur, friend of all cats (especially big ones) and softie about all cute things, eagle-eyed pilot, militaria expert, swordsman and screenwriter, connoisseur of fountain pens and typewriters, sex god, ever-understanding confidant, protector and defender, best friend, kindly and incisive critic, Calvin to my Susie: he is all of these and more… way more.<\/p>\n

Peter, I love you.<\/p>\n

Bring on the next twenty-five years.<\/p>\n

*There were two weddings: one in LA to get the paperwork handled, and the second on in Boston so that the maximum number of friends could be there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
