21 Years!

Yes, 21 years ago today, My wife and I started our life long goal of putting up with one another. She does more putting up than I do. I'm just testing her integrity. Can she actually go a lifetime without a murder charge? We'll see. Unfortunately for her, I have no intentions of straying. She, not only tolerates me, but she actually spoils me. I don't understand. But I'm not going to question it, I'm just going to go with it until she becomes senile and comes to her senses. Another reason I would never wander from home, that would be cruel to disappoint and frustrate two women in my lifetime. Besides, I now have baggage. Yes, she 'blessed' me with two children who would make another woman's life not worth living. Oh, they're good kids, they just don't know it yet. I'm sure some day the goodness will leak out, and I won't have to be fearful of them eating their young. The thought of replacing my wife (sorry for the analogy hon), would be like getting a new baseball glove, breaking it in over the years, playing numerous innings - too numerous to keep track, occasionally fixing the stitching, winning game after game with the perfect fit for a ball glove, and getting a new one someday, after I'm too old to play the game anymore. What's the point? She knows every fiber of my being. She's knows my likes and dislikes (and then does the opposite), but 99.9% of the time, we're pretty good buddies. Time to start working on year 22.
