-
- After having met your wife, a charming and incredibly nice
- person (almost as nice as April, who might happen to read this), I
- just have to ask -- did you deserve what you've gotten?
-
- I certainly didn't deserve April. Besides all the usual great
- attributes, she didn't even flinch when I returned from the gun show and
- mentioned that I'd erased half of my bank account, and a few short
- hours thereafter promised to help me towards the purchase of a new
- motorcycle. I don't deserve this.
-
- At the risk of being flamed off the net, would anybody care to
- speculate on whether this is merely my undeserved good fortune or just
- her trying to give me a guilt complex?
-
- Peeve: my wisdom teeth are scheduled for removel on Tuesday, a
- mere two days before thanksgiving. This is certain the mitigate the
- normal feasting routine.
-
- !Peeve: I'll be the only one not gaining weight this holiday.
-
- Note: I'll be sure to describe the procedure in annoying detail
- as I'm certain this is soon to become the most painful thing I have
- ever known, including the cup shattered and driven into the Dangly Bits
- episode of my soccer-playing youth. You've been warned.
