THIS MODERN WORLD
SO HERE WE ARE ON A COLD WINTER'S NIGHT WITHOUT A WIFEY TO WARM MY BED. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN AND WHO IS TO BLAME? WHAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME, FINALLY (I HOPE!), IS THAT IT, LIFE, IS SHORT. THE ENERGY AND TIME SORTING OUT HAPPENSTANCE AND ASSIGNING BLAME CAN BE BETTER UTILIZED OBTAINING A NEW WIFEY AND, HOPEFULLY, BED WARMER.
I AM CURRENTLY READING "THINGS FALL APART" BY CHINUA ACHEBE. THOUGH I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO FAR INTO THE STORY, ONE THING IS CLEAR: THERE WAS A TIME IF THE WIFEY SO MUCH AS SPILLED THE PORRIDGE ONTO THE FLOOR, SHE WAS PROMPTLY SENT BACK TO THE WIFES' HUT WITH THE ORDER TO SEND WIFE NUMBER THREE TO CLEAN UP THE MESS AND TO WARM THE BED.
PERHAPS THE INABILITY OF MODERN MAN TO NOW DO THIS IS THE "THING" THAT FELL APART.
