Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3933064, member: 6488"] When I came downstairs this morning, my wife handed me a cup of java and these encouraging words: "Grow up," she said, "it's just a stupid game; it's not the end of the world." Thus fortified, I turned around and headed back upstairs to retrieve my small blue blankie and to cry myself back to sleep. How can you live with someone for decades and she just not get it? NOT the end of the world? You jest. Surely during our courtship I read to her the poems of TS Eliot. Surely she must remember that "this is the way the world ends./Not with a bang but a whimper." So, whimpering, I wish you fellow hollow men a joyful holiday season, a safe and healthy year. With many thanks for sharing a journey filled with great ups and downs.
