And remember that it will give the people in the retirement home something to chatter about.

I try not to leave her and yuri alone.
Congrats on a nice wife!

My wife told me that she's OK with me buying a shed for my militaria collection but it will not be on the inside of the house...

I'm thinking of buying a bigger house with a basement and making a "Man Cave" down there...

Jeff,

You are the man! Next time I am in SA to visit my family, I'll call you up and will buy you the beverage of your choosing.

Luckily for you, this soldier can't handle alcohol whatsoever. Don't laugh, but I was a bartender in San Antonio before joining the Army. Needless to say, I have been the designated driver for many TOP SECRET late night missions.
