We all would like the best for ourselves...and our children and our grandchildren. Well, I don't have any children...I have STEP-children and I try so hard to take care of them.

I have a wife...and I try too hard to take care of her, especially when she calls me names like "idiot", "drunk", "fool".

I can accede to each of those monikers at one time or another but there are other names, too...

"Caretaker", "Butler", "Confidant", "Friend".

Sometimes (oh, there's that word again), sometimes, I would just like to be called "friend". It that so much to ask?

And so I say a "Wonderful Night" to anyone who reads this post,

Good Night, Friend.
