HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, HG (after 58 years of marriage) is still in love with BSK. Yes, the heart has its own mysterious passions. But, on an objective level (HG can obtain some level of objectivity about the wondrous woman), BSK deserves every bit of HG’s admiration and romantic proclivities. Certainly, without BSK’s concentration on every aspect of HG’s health and wellbeing, the 92-year-old would long be dead. Instead, HG enjoys life, BSK’s intellectual curiosity, creativity, wit, and energy. And, cuisine, of course; a tasty (and healthy treat) every night. BSK was a beautiful child, a beautiful young woman Motherhood enhanced BSK’s looks. Now, at age 80, BSK is a mature hottie, looking decades younger. Slender. Svelte. Stylish (super chic in clothes that fit after being bought years and years ago). Yes, BSK exercises daily, walks and hikes with Toby, The Wonder Dog; moderate in eating; rarely consumes fat or sweets. However, HG knows BSK’s diet secret. On a daily basis,BSK eats peanuts, peanut butter and pickles (sometimes all three). Dessert: dry mango slices. HG will admit that genes may play a role in BSK’s perpetual radiance.
