HAPPY REUNION DAY!

Ellemeno:
Today, JUNE 24TH, is the anniversary of THE REUNION in the SHORT STORY by ANNIE PROULX:


--- Quote ---The fourth summer since Brokeback Mountain came on and in June Ennis had a general delivery letter from Jack Twist, the first sign of life in all that time.   

Friend this letter is a long time over due. Hope you get it. Heard you was in Riverton. Im coming thru on the 24th, thought Id stop and buy you a beer Drop me a line if you can, say if your there.   

The return address was Childress, Texas. Ennis wrote back, you bet, gave the Riverton address.
--- End quote ---

So the next morning, when they wake up from jouncing the bed in The Motel Siesta, is JUNE 25TH, my BIRTHDAY, as well as AnnMarie's and Giancarlo's.  Of course I was the only one of the three of us alive in 1963.  I turned 4 that day.

May Reunion Love fill all our hearts this weekend, and everyday.

Love,

Clarissa

P.S.  In the film, the reunion is in September.

Hmmmm...  I knew I felt a certain singular alignment of the stars pushing and pulling me around today.  Now I know why.

Happy Reunion Day to you too, EFM.  And early wishes for a VERY happy birthday to you, AnnMarie and Giancarlo tomorrow!

(By the way, my husband was born in 1959, too.  And my oldest brother.  Apparently, all the best people were.)

RouxB:
Happy reunion day to you too, EFNM! (you too Barby girl)

I'm headed off to the Solstice Parade and Celebration downtown.

p.s.
Things are better today, Elle-we talked-he's okay.

Jeff Wrangler:
Do you suppose Annie, "the Author Almighty," as Meryl once dubbed her, chose the Feast of St. John the Baptist for the Reunion because Ennis loses his head when he sees Jack again after four years and that "thing" "grabs hold" of him?  ;D

Heat be damned, tonight I expect to smarten up in my best cowboy duds and head on out to raise a glass to our two much-loved cowboys. Guess I oughta watch the DVD 'fore I do.

And what about those of us born in 1958? Is that an effen problem?  ;)

A joyous Reunion Day to all true Brokies everywhere!

Clarissa, you are as brilliant as last week's solstice to point this out... which almost makes me feel badly for teasing you a few moments ago in the Performance thread.... ALMOST   ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  xoxo Alec
