....for Lutheran hymns...
...for the God who taught J.S. Bach how to write cantata 66....
...for baroque violins, oboes and trumpets and a judiciously applied cimbelstern...
...for 12 varieties of egg bake and 100-cup coffee urns....
...for the availability of Asics 2140s after 6 hours of strappy heels...
...for the afternoon warm after a frigid morning....
...for Vinho Verde straight from the freezer...
...for toddlers who run pell-mell in party crowds without tripping and babies with rosy cheeks....
...for a 28-course Portuguese meal and the minds and hands and 2 weeks that created it...
...for the same party hosts....who served an entire pork roast after the pineapple sorbet and flan had been served and found the port glasses just in time....
....for, wow, so many stellar friends....my Boston "family"....that I didn't stop having something to eat or sing about or talk about or celebrate from 7:10 a.m. to 10:04 p.m. and will now fall to bed exhausted and sated....
...and grateful.
