There are more than a few street people here in Santa Cruz who would be so much better off if they could check into this calm, quiet hotel...

Lots of wives have murderous thoughts, maybe, but few act on it. You never know, Wade. Try to stem that annoyance factor would be my advice...

Forgiveness is 9 tenths of the law. No one understands. I guess third times a winning ticket for the last game of solitaire.

If my wife was that nonchalant about murder, I wouldnโ€™t be writing this. Then again, she does leave piles of stuff everywhere, never fully closes a cupboard drawerโ€ฆ

Just so it is fun, Janice. There is so much angst to work with. We can all use a break. Thanks for your comment!

Great one Sharron, I love how neat it is. Three parts and a resolution. It made me think of that song, โ€˜To Keep My Love Aliveโ€™ by Ella Fitzgeraldโ€ฆ
