The sweet and wonderful Mrs. Septimus presented me with 20 red roses this morning, one for each of 18 years and one for each of our kids. That we married on Pearl Harbor Day was by chance, but it does make the date easy to remember! 
The adage “Opposites attract” is borne out by our successful marriage; she and I are opposite in many ways. Even our kids are doing well, surprising given the Dad they’re stuck with. :smack:
Especially amazing is that septimus, who often second-guesses and third-guesses his decisions (and who is not immune to the pleasures of voluptuous variety :rolleyes:) has never regretted this marriage, not a single time in 18 years, not even for a minute.
