Two Wives

-
We're watching a show called Life. It's another NetFlix series and it's all right. Brody from Homeland is in it and since he's not kissing Claire Danes I'm all right with it.

But one of the guys who ended up dead in the show was living a double life:

With two wives!

Can you imagine???

I only have one wife.

That's plenty!

Now this guy did all right. Both of the women were lookers...no Kathy Fazzolari, mind you...but the guy went to great lengths to keep the women apart.

Which was a good idea.

He told them that he was a spy and would alternate weeks with his two wives.

They both bought it.

And then the guy ended up murdered.

(I won't spoil the story for you).

But I'm thinking that his death was a sweet relief.

Poor bastard was making two breakfasts no matter which house he was in on any weekend.

He was doing laundry in two places.

Emptying two dishwashers.

Listening to two sets of work stories.

(Okay, maybe that's me).

And there are certainly some obvious benefits to having two women who believe that you're their soulmate, but he was married to both of them for years...

...so the benefits were dwindling.

Now you certainly here such stories now and again. Some men have multiple wives, right?

If the wives now and accept it that's one thing, but if you're trying to hide it...that's a whole 'nother game all together.

That's going to get you killed.

Two wives?

Nah, I'm good.

Kathy has asked me if I would ever remarry if something happened to her and my standard answer is:

"No. You ruined it for everyone."

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
