Like you, I have been looking at some old columns I've written and it is sweet to find a gem like the one you posted.<br /><br />I didn't marry the sailor who almost stole my heart, but the guy who beat him out has been with me for 44 years and still loves me. That's saying something. :-)Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-32259350493145961202009-08-02T20:41:26.595-05:002009-08-02T20:41:26.595-05:00Pat, you constantly amaze me.

One of the most interesting sights I saw in Morocco was a double-decker camel transport, where people and camels alike were hanging out the sides. Talk about heads and asses...<br /><br />Thanks. I really enjoyed this article. I wish I could brag about a long relationship.

It didn't start as a late-life marriage (we were 26), but we plan for it to be that way in about 50 more years.<br /><br />Mike has always been an early bird, and I'm a night owl, but we both love art, theater, reading, and animals, and no one could be more supportive of my writing.

Ed used to come tearing down the hall yelling, "Do you know what time it is?"<br /><br />Now that he's not around to do that I sometimes stay up all night. I do NOT recommend it.

After a few months, we sold both our houses and bought a new, smaller one. I used to be a night owl, rarely in bed before 1 a.m. Sarah is ready to crash after the 10 o'clock news. I've learned the habit. She's not as good a traveler as I am, but we've covered beaucoup miles in the book business (signings, conferences, etc.). We argue about stuff frequently, but it always ends with a laugh. Accommodation is the name of the game.Chester Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-31477672591312835162009-08-01T17:36:28.002-05:002009-08-01T17:36:28.002-05:00Marilyn, your Hap is a gem.
