Thanks, dude. She's cooking a nice home made soup for me right now, and allowing some Chardonnay drinking. I do love her, esp for putting up with me. I'm a very difficult person to live with. I'm a bit hyper at times, and a little odd in regards to most things, and very obsessive, and self centred and narcissistic, so she's a good person. We are both very geared towards family and living simply, without a lot of 'stuff'. We're peasants really, in a very true sense, and I'd feel guilty if it were otherwise. Twenty Six years is not THAT long, but it's a stretch, and if I can go from here to God (eventually) with a loving family and wife at my side who actually cares about me then I guess there's not a lot missing from this worldly part of my existence.

Thinking back to my very unhappy teenage years (literally crying myself to sleep; considering the self-loathing and depression) I was very lucky to find someone actually was interested in me, and shocked, really. From there on in it was up up up, and look at all this now, sons, a daughter, a grand son, what more? What more is there? Nay. Nothing. All else is fluff.

Now I feel bad about the crying, Leonard Cohen comment, really pleased life's good for you.didn't expect you to be a religious man, not that its bad, just didn't expect it.
Have solved your clothing dilema, as a peasant surely a smock made from an old sack and some hobnail boots should do you for years. Don't see too many peasants in French cuffs and $300 shoes :-) unless you were a bourgeois cashed up FIFO peasant.
