A Moment in Time

   It must have been about 1996, and there was a cookout at the Remington's home.  A lot of people were there, including Dorothy, and, to most everyone's surprise, Gus, her ex, whom we hadn't seen or heard from in  20 years or so.  Two decades of marriages, births, deaths, divorce, graduations, and the stuff of life.   Rosemary walked over to Gus, greeting him with a casual, "Hi, Gus, so what's new?"    (How he may have answered is now lost in time.)
