POP'S TOP TEN

TOP TEN things I, Jeanette, have learned after forty five years of marriage

• Never ever ever start a movie after 7 o'clock
• Smile and nod politely and dad thinks I'm listening to his golf stories
• Think twice about getting a "Jude Law" tattoo on your rear
• It's hard having a husband that looks older than you
• In a pinch, vanilla extract will give you a good buzz
• Pops is the "real deal"
• Celebrate little anniversaries, like the times Mike lets me operate the remote control
• Every few months let him win a game of "Scattergories"
• Number 4 in the "Top Ten" list is never funny
• Draw up a household budget of, say, 15k and stick to it
