Forty Years

Saturday will be the fortieth anniversary of my marriage to the lovely Mrs. Air&Road. I'm a very lucky man.

Of course. You don't make it forty years without doing such things.

Congrats, Larry.

The first 30 are the worst. After that it's smooth sailing.

Well done! Our wives must have the patience of a saint to put up with us this long. Kinda interesting that so many of us on this board have won the "wife lottery". I my case I found a really good one and married her before she wised up.

Congratulations, Larry! Wish you many more.

I may have missed it, how is your wife doing after the health scare?
