re: Let’s celebrate your failed marriage

I celebrate my wife’s failed marriage every day. This is my first marriage and her second. I dodged the bullet a few times. She didn’t.

Her first husband was a heroin dealer and heroin addict who never held a steady job and that’s what blew that marriage all to hell. Now as her second husband I have a very very low bar to cross. Hey….I get drunk, I go to work, I’m addicted to fishing, I have drinks with my work friends, I have a steady job, I’m not overdosing on heroin at her parents’ house….I’m fricking golden.

Why marry early in life? Wait for the sadder but wiser girl…just as Damon Runyon said in “Guys and Dolls.”
