I felt like a change was due. The Disneyland pic with my girls was a lot of fun, but they have their own lives now. I went into My Pictures, on my computer, and couldn't find a single picture of myself that was anywhere near descent. Back to an earlier day, less than 10 years, and we both, mostly, still look like that. I'll have to get Jacki to do something for me.
Please, allow me to introduce, for those who do not know her, the most wonderful woman in the entire world, my wife Mary. Say "Hello." Mary.
"Hello."
OK, enough silly. I do, however, want to nominate her for sainthood, for putting up with my crap for almost 40 years. Other than that, we have absolutely nothing in common. We are polar opposites on so many things, we've stopped trying to count them. Separately, we're two people. Together we can damn-near do anything. Together we have raised three great kids, all contributors to their communities, all assets to their employers. We've weathered births, deaths, weddings, addiction, and even the loss of a child. Separately, it would have killed us. Together, we managed to live through it all, and grow even closer together in the process.
It's only right that she be with me here, she's with me everywhere else. Well, at least until I can get Jacki to take some good pics.
