42 years....that is admirable, Saf. Congratulations....really. I went through more women than a gyno clinic. Looking back, I should have kept one or two of them (no...not at the same time......well....). It would be nice at this time in my life to have the love, companionship and camaraderie of a good woman. Consider yourself lucky. Especially since she like cars!
Gosh you guys, thanks. She deserves a medal and actually on our 25th friends gave her a trophy in appreciation for putting up with me for that many years. I'm lucky. High school sweetheart. Her brothers were buidling hot rods and the only way I could weasel my way in was to date their sister. Funny but almost all our friends are also long term married too. Just seems to be the norm for the car group we've hung with for so many years. I suspect it could be because it is hard to find a good woman who not only likes cars but doesn't leave the shop messy after she's changed the oil in the cars (okay, she doesn't change the oil, but she watches and chats at me while I do it, and brings me tea, coffee, and pops). Life is good, I have to admit.
