I feel a homily coming on so here tis: Having had my fill of coffee, I ran across a goodly couple I hardly know this weekend on my way to the mens room. I am always happy to talk to the brethren and sisteren wherever they may be. Said the man to me with a curious look, So how is your wife? Such a question about The Madam always gives me pause, especially since the person obviously did not even know her name. (The game was on.) She is fine, just fine. It will take a little time for her to adjust since she cared for her father for 5 years before he died. (What happened next made me itch.) Well, he opined, You know a lot of marriages fall apart when they are empty nesters. I lobbed the ball back with a quizzical back spin, Whys that? Relationships! he proclaimed in all seriousness, You are going to have to reestablish your relationships. (The hook was firmly set in his jaw and he was off and running with the bait.) I glanced at his intuitive wife, who, miles ahead of him, was muffling hysterics. (I was playing before a very willing audience and there seemed no gracious way to break off.) Really? I come home every night after work, isnt that enough? No! he said. Now that does present a conundrum, what is a fellow to do then? He went for the jugular, There are a lot of good books on this subject. You are going to have to discover her Love Language! Thats not a problem, I said, I already know what her love language is. (At this point I really needed to visit the mens room.) You do, what do you think it is? Well, I said, The Madam thinks she is in charge of me. Her love language is telling me what to do! I have known that for years. That set him back and while he was stuttering, I demurred, Now, it has been really nice seeing you, but if you will excuse me, I really must Go. Such is the life of a man who lives in an ethereal blue world when he perchance runs across a black and white thinker. I just cant hep it!
