These are trying times. Many things are going on at the same time. My basic current, as being the last 23 years, family, is totally dysfunctional. I'm 61.

My marriage since 1983 is for all practical purposes pretty much over. We are still together because of logistics. It's really too bad, because my wife is really a great person. Good looking, sexy, great personality, smart, sucessful, resourseful, great Mom, and still does all my laundry along with everybody else in the family regularly. She has a great smile, and meets no strangers. Fortunely, my son has her smile. My wife, Kathy, got her smile from her Mom, one of the most sweetest, uncomplaining, though I'm sure she has her aches and pains, lady I've known.

The most current "problem" I have is with my youngest son, Kevin, 18.
