re: Over the last 50 years, the marriage rate in the U.S. has dropped by nearly 60%

Thankful daily that Mrs. FCP basically sat on me until I proposed. Knew instinctively she was/is “The One,” but left to my own devices, I would have avoided marriage for another decade. We will celebrate 25 years soon—together over half our respective lives at this point. Best decision of my lifetime, and there ain’t a close second.

Oh, and hi sweetie.
