40 years of conjugal bliss is no small thing. It needs understanding and adjustment. We have completed 44 years in February. Wish you dear Tom and your sweetheart long years of togetherness.

40 years is a long time to spend with someone, and something special should be in order, I hope it was special Tom. Queen has been a long-time fav for me! Congratulations, belated of course.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" brought classical-style music back into the pop culture. Congratulations on having a bond of 40 years, Tom! Enjoyed this senryu very much. Been thinking a lot about the 72-year marriage of the Bushes, and how Barbara's death may be contributing to George's illness. It's in God's hands...

Thanks very much Carolyn, 72 years wow. To lose your other half would contribute to a broken heart. Tom.
