9、saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. Numbers never seemed important. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so

10、 elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. Or maybe I saw my own.Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.I didnt kn

11、ow then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life. This week, well plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not.
