I was right about the age thing. You are around 11 years younger than I am (well by the time I turn 57 in Sept.) Enjoy your 40's. That was my BEST time of my life I do believe!

So True! Most men have wandering eyes...and need to appreciate what they have at home ...before it is taken from them.

I might have seen another man's wife as being pretty or even being beautiful, but never as a treasure! I have my treasure and I love her with all my heart, I'm true to her and I will never cheat on her that way! But there are those men out there that can't resist another mans wife if they are beautiful and become a treasure to them! I hate to see that happen! This is a very true Monoku my good friend, to some! I just love this fantastic and glorious write! I'm just not this way! Excellent Work!!

This is not really a man rant--it's a window from my soul 22 yrs ago...Introspection, that's all...Thanks Chris. :) :) :) !
