"Being coupled with me has not ever ended well."

ROFL! I should never have married, either. Both times, it was to people who didn't love me. They said as much.

You have had a fascinating life, for sure. You once commented that you wished we lived in each other's neighborhood; I'm feeling that. There are numerous similarities in our lives, as well as some significant dissimilarities. Incidentally, my father's family is from Alabama, and that's where I got my version of Christianity. What part was yours?

Just curious: why did you not respond to my email?
