Murder Often, Divorce Never

[Drawing61]

Hello and I trust you all had a Merry Christmas. My husband pulled a surprise on me today. After the last of our house guests left he gave me my Christmas present, a 2017 Namiki Emperor Dragon. He made it clear the gift was for Christmas and our 50th anniversary. I am still a bit shell-shocked.

 

The reference in topic tags I heard for the first time when Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy were asked in a TV interview if they had ever considered divorce. Their answer is the secret to a long and happy and bumpy but never dull marriage.

My husband has said he'll never get me a pen, for fear he'll buy the "wrong" thing....

So my Christmas present? I'm having to buy it myself, effectively....

ETA: OTOH, he DID mop up the upstairs hallway when I had food poisoning a few years ago (after just getting home from the hospital after back surgery, no less), and I was projectile vomiting for about a day and a half -- I couldn't get to the bathroom, at the other end of the hallway from the bedroom, fast enough...

Wow! Just that. My wife is well aware of my love affair with pens, but I would never expect a gift like this from her! Wonderful for you!

Congratulations on both fronts - a long marriage and a worthy pen (and husband)!
