I thought the reminder was more for Clifford, so that he will remember how lucky he is and that he could be replaced if he forgets to value his special woman. He does indeed seem to honor her. :)

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!

The month of November is just half over and you have a second wife in less than one month? Just curious. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of clifford Sent: Sunday, November 15, 2009 9:52 PM To: [email protected] 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.
