Yes, this lucky woman is Married to none other than myself. Her name is Dorothy. I realize that I'm a bit of trial, especially now that I'm semi-retired and have more time to advise her on everyday matters, day in and day out, year after year, forever and on into infinity. As she says through gritted teeth: "I now have twice the husband and half the money." But she is a true peach because she still loves me no matter how much I hang around. Go figure.This is the second marriage for us both. We have six grown children and ten grandchildren - and we are still learning how to be good parents and grandparents. Someday I will write a book covering the last 27 years, but it would probably be burned by a large crowd of relatives that I routinely disagree with. It was touch and go the last time they stormed my house with torches and pitchforks... maybe it's because they are always wrong and I'm always right - but I'll qualify that statement by admitting that Dot can and does overrule many of my more pointed rants. Recently she asked me: "What are you NOT cynical about?"
Good question.
