As did I and so am I. The wife thought I was crazy when she saw me loading up on 22LR rounds. Now, she sees the OldPossum as not quite so dumb. Dumb still, though, alas.
I haven’t spoken to my wife in over three months. We’re not fighting, I just don’t like to interrupt.
32 years is the answer to your next question.
I recommend that friends read the book “One Second After” and emphasize to read the foreword. In almost every case, I notice an immediate difference and am asked for advice or what action I have taken. I think the book is so well written to reflect a really possible situation and the actions of real people that people can immediately identify with it.
