   Our youngest daughter every once in a while would declare she was going to become a vegetarian. My wife would make bacon sandwiches for dinner, giving our daughter a BLT (minus the bacon) instead. Our daughter would decide she could wait to become a vegetarian later. Bacon is a temptation.

   I’ve been married for 31 years. Neither my wife nor I understand married people who live like housemates. Having separate bedrooms and basically separate lives. It seems so empty.

   I picked up a lightweight dark blue cloth trench coat at the salvation army store that I loved back in college. I don’t remember what happened to it. My guess is it probably frayed so much that my wife threw it out. Every time my ship deployed, my drawer would be missing an item or two. Sometimes something new would show up.

   My wife is much more supportive than she is. A few months back, at 58, even with no cartilage in my right shoulder, still recovering from cancer surgery a year before and my knees going, I took up MMA training. Found a gym nearby that has a good record of turning out pro fighters (didn’t know about turning out the pro fighters at the time but they had the old school boxing gym feel to it that I wanted) and joined. One black eye so far and lots of bruises on my legs, arms and torso. However… I feel better than I have since cancer.

    Why buy a sports car? The motorcycle that I’ve had for 10 years is a much better ride.
