Tomorrow is my birthday (#64) and every year at this time I think about how my life has been. I don&#39;t want to bore all of you but would like to tell you some of my thoughts at this time. <br />
<br />
Pat and I have been married for over 42 years and in reviewing those great years I have written down the reasons I think our marriage has worked. Here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Two times a week, we go to a nice<br />
 Restaurant, have a little beverage, good<br />
 food and companionship. She goes on<br />
 Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.<br />
<br />
 2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is<br />
 in California and mine is in Texas <br />
<br />
 3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she<br />
 keeps finding her way back.<br />
<br />
 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go<br />
 for our anniversary. &quot;Somewhere I haven&#39;t<br />
 been in a long time,&quot; she said.<br />
 So I suggested the kitchen.<br />
<br />
 5. We always hold hands.<br />
 If I let go, she shops.<br />
<br />
 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster<br />
 and electric bread maker. She said &quot;There<br />
 are too many gadgets and no place to sit<br />
 down&#33;&quot; .. So I bought her an electric chair.<br />
<br />
 7. My wife told me the car wasn&#39;t running<br />
 well because there was water in the carburetor.<br />
 I asked where the car was; she told me &quot;In<br />
 the lake.&quot;<br />
<br />
 8. She got a mud pack and looked great for<br />
 two days. Then the mud fell off.<br />
<br />
 9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling<br />
 &quot;Am I too late for the garbage?&quot;<br />
 ... The driver said &quot;No, jump in&#33;&quot;<br />
<br />
 10. Remember: Marriage is the number one<br />
 cause of divorce.<br />
<br />
 11. I married Miss Right. I just didn&#39;t know<br />
 her first name was Always.<br />
<br />
 12. I haven&#39;t spoken to my wife in 18 months.<br />
 I don&#39;t like to interrupt her.<br />
<br />
 13. The last fight was my fault though. My<br />
 wife asked &quot;What&#39;s on the TV?&quot;<br />
 I said &quot;Dust&#33;&quot;
