Today we have been married 31 years

Imagine that and imagine all the joy of communion we have shared together. Anna and I are a genuine couple, a man and a woman in damn near harmony. Did I say harmony? Let me tell you, there has never been such harmony. Holy God! We have such harmony my Jewish Mother -in-Law is still living with us and she will be 101 years old in February, 2004.

Shit! You think that makes me happy? I'm ecstatic-check exstatic- it doesn't seem right to me. But yus I am! I try every day to keep harmony harmonious, so that we have a choir going and people singing in your face. Once you get people singing, there's no stopping them. They jus' goes on singing and takin' things. We never call the Police but we have thought about it sometimes. I will stop now or this machinery will just close down...
