Tom! I am surprised that you haven't come across Clifford's practice of
giving his wife an ordinal
numeral.
The charming lady is, I understand, his first and only wife to this stage, and
as their marriage is
a longstanding event in the scheme of life, it is, on the cards, that she will
be his last, but he
refers to her as his * first wife, just to keep her in line by reminding her
that where there is a *
first, there might well be a * second, if she pushes her luck too far!

I am a bit confused about your comment about doing something in November
with your first wife. The month of November is just half over and you have
a second wife in less than one month?
Just curious.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] surprising question
Dear List members:
I was in a chat room on a site for blind folks and their friends, and the
subject turned to the events of the day. My first wife and I engaged in some
spring cleaning in November, and we can not figure out whether we are behind
several months, or ahead several months. In any event, I was commenting
about my collection of screw-drivers, which has gotten out of control, and I
am telling all of my friends and family that this Christmas need not involve
screw-drivers.
One of the participants on the site asked me, "what would a blind person do
with a screw-driver". I explained that I had disassembled a chair today and
reassembled the good parts from two chairs to make one good one. This
gentleman apparently has not been exposed to handyman activities at all.
While I don't perform as many tasks as I did as a younger man, I am
astounded at the lack of opportunity some blind folks have. Their parents,
teachers, and friends have protected them too much, in my country boy's
opinion.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
