Above is my favorite current photograph of my beautiful, loving wife, Ellen Sander Bosco (I couldn't crop out the old dude next to her); and below is my favorite picture of Ellen from decades ago, when she was one of the most famous young writers in America, doing a bit of proud gardening in Marin County, California, circa 1970.
Today is her birthday. You can plainly see she is as gorgeous today as she was way back when. In all of the truly wonderful and important ways she hasn't changed a bit.
