If you knew me as a teenager, you'd have pegged me as someone who did not have much of a future.

That all changed, of course, starting when the Govt. got their hands on me. Best thing that could've ever happen. And while the majority of the assholes I went to Jr. High and High School with have been saddled with ex-wives and miserable/failed relationships, my wife and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary yesterday and today.

My question: is my long and happy marriage the result of some sort of an algorithm of numbers that says "some people HAVE to make it....or is it just simple good fortune"?
In order to answer that question correctly one would have to know if your wife possesses all of her faculties or not.
