Today, like all the others, Bill and I get up very early. We did this early on in our marriage, before the mayhem of children's feet hit the floor. You know have our coffee, watch the news, visit with each other. The time of 4:30 or 5 am, send shivers down the spines of some, not us, we are wide awake! Its our routine, and rarely changes. When it does change, we both laugh, like last week. Maybe it was two weeks ago, who knows? I clambered down the stairs, and Bill was on the computer(same as usual) with the exception, he had earphones, earplugs? in his ears?? I tapped his shoulder, and asked him what he was listening to. He shooed me away! Finally he lifted an ear thing and said, " I'm waiting to hear who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry." WHAT.......I hollered, "Who does that Bill, it is so not normal!" AND......" I wanted to talk about how the squirrel population is increasing, as per Kelly Rippa!"
We are two very different peas in the pod, and it makes me laugh. We celebrate thirty-two years of sleeping in the same bed. Me with three pillows, and he with none.( He has one, but its so flat, I don't count that one)
He is all science, and I am all literature,art, music. He is the Box, and I'm swinging from the hinges. He is lucky that I love an educated, overly smart person and I'm lucky that he enjoys my spirit!!( Kind way of saying off the charts personality!) I'm dripping southern stories, and Bill is story-less. Did they have stories in Buffalo, New York? I think not, they were all frozen!!! He is my Bob Newhart to my Ann Margaret!!! It works, so we celebrate another year of laughter, through the many tears, we still laugh.
