Jim, Sharon, 37 years is a long ride by any reckoning! Congratulations, and many happy returns.
+10. Dittoes from Jim from Boston, and his “Sweetie,” Sharon too. Not to glom on to your celebration but this year is our 37th also (April 30). We started off with an eight-week cross country honeymoon from LA to DC.

BTW, that trip was [37] years ago and we're still together.
This morning I did a 27 mile route from Kenmore Square through Wellesley and Needham into Dover and Westwood to Norwood from about 5:30 to 7:30 AM. On a two-mile stretch in Dover from about 6:15 to 6:30 AM on Centre and Walpole Sts, I saw about eight solo cyclists, and a group of about six. Over the other 25 miles I saw maybe about six cyclists in total at most.
Of note, all those Dover riders were going in the opposite direction, and all were in shorts and short sleeves, while I was in long sleeves and tights, and still chilled.
I didn’t really feel warm until about 6:45 and acquired some warm sunshine.
