George,

Karol and I are just about at 16 years.

You know how when the wives are just in "that" mood where you feel like you're in a minefield and no matter what you say you're gonna lose a leg? <g>

Well, the other night I suddenly found myself somewhere within the boundaries of said minefield.

Panic..... <g>

I don't quite know the specific steps I took; a little humour, a little groveling, a little honesty, a little faith and, well, you know...

Anyway, there was this absolute thrill when Karol told me, "You made it through" in response to my question, "Did I make it through?"

A final reflexive act... I threw up my hands and yelled, "Whoo-Hoo!"

<g>

Karol just laughed.

I felt like I'd climbed the Matterhorn.

It can be done!!!

Best,

DD
