This morning as I was poking around in the forums on my computer, my wife walked into the room wrapped in a towel (she's so cute, even at 59 years old - sigh!) with a pair of my socks in her hand!
Bear with me - this is not pornography!
The socks were tucked one inside the other, so I don't go off with one blue sock, and one black one - yeah, it's happened!
She comes around into my field of view - yummy! ahem . . . . .and extracts a knife from within the socks!! Not just any knife, but a Tony Bose Wharncliffe Trapper!
Man, my heart leapt!! She needed some rugged socks today, so borrowed an old pair of mine which led to her discovery. She tucked the knife back in for dramatic effect, and dramatic it was.
As I was rushing off to catch a plane in early September for our vacation, I remembered the WT in my pocket, and not wanting to trust the airlines in any way, ran back in the house, and tucked it out of sight, in the most unlikely spot for a would be thief. And promptly forgot where. I also forgot to bring my cellphone.
I have torn the house apart many times, between bouts of depression looking for that darn knife! I finally broke my silence, and told Tony about it last weekend. Thing is, it's just a knife, but it's A) a T. Bose, and B) I carried that knife all the time! Except on vacation. Except for the last 3-4 months.
My life has changed! The sky is brighter, the birdsong is sweeter! (yes, they are still around, out here on the left coast!).
And my wife is beautiful . . . . .as always!!
