Final Evaluation: We Have a Good Thing Going
Almost a full month later here's the final evaluation of the Matrimonial Evaluation Tour. Just like our marriage, we are both in it for the long haul. Mainly we had nothing but fun, and in the handful of moments that one or the other of us (or both of us) were struggling we helped each other through. That has been the hallmark of the last 33 years.

But, man oh man, I really did get lucky when I married Margaret. Like ... Powerball lottery ticket winner lucky.
