He hires retired guys as delivery drivers. Almost every one of them has the same reason for wanting the job - “my wife doesn’t want me underfoot during the day.”

He gets the impression that these retired guys are working just to get out of the house.

I love my wife. She's my best friend. We love hanging out together, though we have a few diverging interests.

when her husband was unexpectedly "retired" from his office. Drove her nuts. He has no hobbies and I think that's part of it.

this from a man who will never take a vacation. Here he is. At home and the actual office did not fall apart.

Now he looks for the mail truck like he's expecting a Pulitzer prize to show up.

Be careful what you pray for.

Men, can't live with them, can't live ...have another margarita, Phentex.

But ya gotta love 'em.
