v3.0

The wonderful actress
Anne Bancroft (1931–2005) was once
loosely quoted as saying
about her husband, Mel Brooks,
My heart flutters whenever I hear his key
Turning in the door, and I think to myself,
Oh goody, the party is about to begin.

That is exactly how I feel
about my wife,
Marci Garcia Mendoza Bolles,
God’s angel from the Philippines,
whom I fell deeply in love with, and married
on August 22, 2004.

What an enchanted marriage this is!
