That something I choose not to experience and sadly miss out.
Talk about resilience throughout all those years. I wonder, were there moments you were "off-task" for thinking of seeing your wife. Must be brutal of all those times not seeing her.
I had a grandfather who hasn't seen my grandmother in 11 years, since she was the 1st to migrate to the United States. Got together and died his last breath with her.
Wow! 11 Years is crazy but that happens sometimes with the imigrants for sure! It's weird thinking back, having been together for 14 years straight, and thinking about those first years. It did teach us how to communicate extensively. That, ironically, provided a very healthy foundation going forward.
Thanks for sharing Michael. Love is as good a reason as there is for crazy and for figuring a way around the rules. I spent decades insisting that the rules didn’t apply to me for most things. The consequences were often painful but not as penal as you faced in the Rangers.
I'd like to think I did everything with a measured risk assessment. I never really rejected all rules, I just have a skill in finding the loopholes in the rules :) Ironically, the things that have bit me were the mundane 'everybody breaks these rules' sorts of things. Not the 'fun' ones!
Congratulations Michael!

Fun story.

Thanks for the comment!
Good title. See also: the things you can do when you're in your twenties!
When we are invincible and untouchable and lack a lot of common sense.
Great story Michael! My wife and I met around the same time in our lives at Uni. That was 22 years ago!
Yeah, we met almost 21 years ago now. Fall of 03.
almost snap!
