Martin,

Man, I'm really sorry to hear about your 50 years of captivity...

But seriously, that's awesome!

I always like to hear about couples that have lived up to their vows...For better or worse.

Congrats to you and your wife!

You could give some good pointers on (Tommy's getting married) post!

Christ, you don't get as long as that if you murder someone!

Congratulations (and sympathies to your good lady).

John, perhaps it's a slower version of suicide!

Bill, for Tom's benefit the secret is simple..."keep your mouth shut and do as you're told". I just wish I'd discovered that before I'd served about 35 years!
I'm of the old school; my parents taught me.."If you make a promise, keep it"
