She has trouble boiling water.
I am a starred French Chef
She couldn’t tell a lie if she tried.
I can. I also know that if my life ever came down to hanging in the balance dependent on Karen lying for me, adios muchachos!
Black hair.
Blonde hair.
Dark brown skin.
Pale white shin.
Absolutely beautiful.
So is she.
She has all the patience in the world. She can actually put things together and repair them. It may take her a while, but she won’t stop until she achieves success.
I have zero. If I construct something, something will be left over (damned crummy instructions). However, I WILL complete the assembly in record time.
She doesn’t have a prejudicial bone in her body.
My endoskeleton is full of them.
She watches Shrek.
I watch Criminal Minds.
She prefers the practical.
I’ve always gone for the flashy.
She is reserved.
I am the opposite of reserved.
She is not musically gifted.
Ahem.
She is a voracious reader.
I hardly read at all anymore.
She doesn’t write at all.
I don’t stop writing. Whether it’s a book, song, story idea, or an idea for my daily blog, I never stop.
She is physically imposing.
I am the opposite of that.
She prefers wine.
I’m a shot and beer guy. V.O. whiskey and an ice cold Bud. Hello!
She can go all day and night.
I’m lucky just to go anymore at all.
She can take or leave sports of any kind.
I cannot.
I cry at the drop of a hat.
She doesn’t flinch.
She believes it when someone gives her a promise.
I would like to.
She is from the Midwest.
I’m a Californian.
She is OK with the cold, the change of seasons and all that.
I can be at home anywhere, but I do prefer the sunshine for two words and two words only: Year-round golf.
She is very politically-minded.
I could give two shits.
She says turn the other cheek.
I say turn the other cheek so I can shoot you there, too.
These are just some of the things that make up a happy union between two of the most different individuals on planet Earth.
How about the similarities?
She has a good heart.
After you strip away all the arrogance, condescension, and bullshit, so do I.
She loves to travel, and our life has seen us traverse much of the USA. Ever since I was born, I have been on the move and I have absolutely loved every step of the way.
Regardless of any contributing factors whatsoever, we are naturally inclined to do the right thing.
We both love animals of every kind. I found it absolutely amazing that she, who never had a dog her entire life until I bought her little Rambo, a Cocker Spaniel puppy, soon became the Ultimate Expert of All Things Furry.
As opposed to me, who had dogs and cats my entire life, who knew absolutely nothing.
Yet, here we are.
Forty years later.
Stay well.
