49…
49 years ago, on July 24th, 1971, I married the world’s greatest woman. People used to ask Judy how she has managed to stay married to me all that time, and she used to answer, “I have a really bad memory” and we would all laugh. 
Now when she is asked that same question, she responds with, “I have a really good memory…” 
I think that, maybe, my memory is better than hers…
Conversations With Judy – Call It Episode 13: Free Spirited Artist
Driving home from Oakhurst after Mass…
Judy: “We could rent a motorhome to go to Utah. I’m kind of afraid to go to Utah, though.”
Bill (Me): “Why? Are you afraid you might want to move there?”
J: “No. I’m afraid to come home and get a call that Dean had a heart attack in Hawaii. Besides, if we moved to Utah, you would have to become Mormon.”
B (M): “Well, what would I have to become if we moved to Arizona?”
J: “You would have to become a ‘Free Spirited Artist’.”
B (M): “I could do that. I could be a ‘Free Spirited Artist’. I could become a Free Spirited Photographic Artist’… I could be a ‘Phartist’!”
Hahaha…
Hahaha…
Hahaha…
Hahaha…
J: “The next time somebody asks me what I have learned being married to you I’m just going to say, “I have learned not to be sipping a soda through a straw while having a conversation with him in the car,” and they will ask “Why shouldn’t you sip soda while having a conversation with Bill?” and I will answer “because I’m afraid of what will come out of his mouth.”
B (M): “No you’re not. You’re afraid that what comes out of my mouth will cause your soda to come out of your nose.”
Judging by what happened next, Judy, apparently, has yet to learn that lesson.

Conversations With Judy – Episode One: Pillow Talk
It was a dark and snoozy night…
It was a dark and snoozy night…
Twenty minutes ago, I was sound asleep happily dreaming of my new Sears Craftsman Model 79186 Weedwhacker Gas Trimmer with the 32cc 2-Cycle Engine, Incredi-Pull – P2 Technology, Hassle Free Cutting Head, and Convertible Attachment System*, when I was awakened by the feel of my wife’s hand groping my own hand (which was somehow vertically situated above her head, leaning up against the headboard) and following it along down to the top of my head, as if she was trying to figure out what this thing was…
And then she said, “What are YOU doing here?”
“Oh, I’m here this time most every night … What do you mean what am I doing here? Where do you think we are?”
“I’m on the couch. What are you doing standing behind it?”
“You may be on the couch, but I’m in bed asleep.”
“Really? What time is it?”
“12:53.”
Dead silence… then she started laughing and said “Sorry for waking you – I thought I was on the couch reading my book and you were the cat.”
“You woke me up for this?”
Then she went back to sleep.
Now she is sawing Zs and I’m wide awake writing this stupid story…
* Really – I was – I’m now convinced that I am no longer a teen-ager…
