5791, 760th. prime. And they parted the closest [Yes, I have. My wife has developed a Law according to which the more extravagant and lavish the wedding party, the sooner and bitterer the divorce, and vice versa. Holds pretty well, though the sample size is admittedly very small.] ---

5792 Of friends [In my case, “Brenda and Eddie” were Sue and Jeff. He was the Big Man on our high school campus, and she was the head cheerleader. I’ve kept in touch with them via Facebook. He’s summited Everest twice, while she has won awards for equestrian dressage. Extremely well off, both of them. But a few years ago, things went south. Jeff found somebody younger (he’s my age, early 60s, putting him at about 55 when this happened, and so is/was Sue), and the marriage fell apart. I’m of the understanding that it was a very messy divorce, involving kids, horses, real estate, holdings of investments in the US and Canada, and so on. They may have been the popular steadies, and the king and the queen of the prom, but they “sure didn’t count on the tears.”] ---
