Babs and I shared an elevator with this old man on the way to a walk. After a few seconds of silence this man turns to me and says, "I wish I had got a dog rather than a wife" then sort of clams up.

The scary part was the look he wore. His eyes pleaded with me to understand. It was as if a veteran grandfather was attempting to coax his grandson not to enlist: "Sure there's easy access to sex, but then you get sick and injured and when you finally get out you're too lame to enjoy life."

Anyway...damn.
