A funny thing happened on the way into the house…

So, Bald Man loves to rub the whole “he’s younger than me” thing in my face. You caught that there, right? The way he talks, you’d think I’d robbed the cradle!

The year was 1997. A young woman and a younger man wed, and they began the task of setting up home together. The young woman was unemployed; the bookstore at which she had been working had closed a couple months before the wedding, which was alright at the time. The afore mentioned young woman […]

Gone are the days of Rob and Laura…
