A promise made

I looked at the radar map today on my iPhone and animated the map. There was a mass of cloud and rain that covered most of central Alabama.
When I looked more closely, the vortex of the mass was swirling around Empire, Alabama. I kid you not.
Today was our 39th anniversary and we always try to do something special, but today we decided to stay close to home, and spend time with Ol' Buddy. As I wrote a few days ago he is very ill.
I gave Jilda my word that next year we will be in Ireland, Paris, or some other distant land of her choice celebrating our landmark.
It was said most eloquently in the poem, The Ballad of Sam McGee:
A promise made is a debt unpaid.
