My fondest memories are generally the day after Thanksgiving. I get the total decorating Christmas itch.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.

In reality, relationships that are successful tend to take the attitude, 'How can I help you?' 'How can I enrich your life?' 'How can I be a better husband to you,' if it's a marriage.
