years ago yesterday, the (old) Oriana had completed her maiden
voyage, I had joined at Barrow on October 24 1960 a long time
we were used to much shorter trips New York, Montreal etc, I was
26 newly wed (1957), so no one saw much or me for a few days
still happily married, people ask for the secret of a happy marriage
Pick the right one and go away to appreciate her, but not for too long

When asked how is it that you are still married to Rob (50+ years now) my wife replies " 'Cos he was never at home".

#73 very true I’ve been married 63 years but can feel it in my water it’s only because I was away
For most of it. She would have thrown me out long before now. JS
