Dan,

So far I've only been required to swear on the grave of our dead cat
that I'd keep my stuff off the kitchen table forever, I had to throw
out a couple of years worth of Car Craft, Mopar Muscle, Muscle Car
Enthusiast and Bronco Driver magazines, and not to expect any Xmas,
Hanuka, Anniversary, Valentines or Birthday presets for at least five
years.  Maybe I can convince her to go for a ride in this one some
day.  She won't step foot in the others.  I can't understand women.
She won't even go to Monster Trucks or NHRA with me and the boys.

I love my wife.

- Jim
