I am reminded every day of my life, if not by events, then by my wife, that I am not a perfect man. — 2008

My Take – For once, I have to agree with President Obama.  Ever hear the story that when a person was getting a triumph in ancient Rome, a slave would sit in the chariot with him and every so often lean over and gently say “Remember, thou art mortal”?  Yeah, married life is kind of like that at times.

True story – I have come home from volunteering at Fort Knox, smelling of explosives residue and with multiple contusions from impacts of one kind or another, feeling really amped up, and been reminded that I need a shower, those clothes better not end up in the clothes hamper, and the cat box needs changing.  Of course, while I’m taking care of all that, she’s making me a hot meal and pre-positioning the aspirin for me.  Hey, just because she  treats me like any other mortal doesn’t mean she doesn’t love me.
