Is there a Loch Ness Monster? Who was Jack the Ripper? Why would anybody stay married to me for 25 years? A little salute to Wife who, despite my fear of success and constant efforts to screw up a good thing, has stuck with me for a quarter of a century. SAAAAAH-LOOOOT! Take THAT, Las Vegas oddsmakers! ---

Last month, I throughly inspected Loch Ness ([sub][sup]read: "walked alongside it for ten minutes and tossed a few good-sized rocks in it so as to provoke Nessie[/sup][/sub]), and I can tell you with certainty that Nessie does not exist. Happy now? 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jeannie \* > **(2 years next month)** The first few years were the hardest. If you’ve gotten this far with neither of you moving back in with Mommy you’re doing great! Thanks, folks! I–I mean, WE–appreciate your good wishes. ---
