Comparing notes

A lady told me the other day her daughter was married to a man 26 years older than she is.

"She and I need to talk," I said. Jack and I are 28 years apart. "Yes, you do," she said.

We are rather peerless, you see.

Of course every marriage is unique, every relationship a landscape with its own flora, fauna and vistas, but ours mixes creatures not generally found in the same habitat. Few couples out there can relate.

I like to imagine the conversations we could have.
There's the obvious, like health care and retirement planning. Then there's the less obvious, like the cultural references.

"I'd never heard of Gene Simmons before I saw this show," Jack said today as Family Jewels went off the air.
