I've been thinking a lot about marriage and Marie as of late. I know that, unless she finds out about all those hookers I killed back in the late 80s, we'll be married forever. We've had disagreements in the past, but no fights. Neither of us are coded to stand our ground no matter what. We cave, we buckle, we compromise. We learn what is worth speaking up about and what isn't. I couldn't imagine my life without Marie and know that I wouldn't be able to be with anyone else if anything would happen to her. When you've been with 'the one', everyone else just seems like an imposter.

In speaking with my grandfather a few weeks ago about my brother's situation, I asked him why he thought divorce was more common now. He said that with marriage, you have to learn to 'swallow it' once in a while. Unless he was giving me oral sex tips, I think he meant that people aren't willing to make sacrifices for each other any more.

I see marriage as a wonderful thing and there is a lot of honor that goes with it. To commit your life to one person until you shuffle off the mortal coil is rather intense. And I take my wedding vows with serious intensity. The fact that not everyone does is tragic.

In other news, we had a new employee start today that looks like a cross between Tina Fey and my sister-in-law.

Happy slaughter and persecute all non-whites and animals that taste good Thanksgiving.
