The Man

The Man.


He's walking his dog. He's getting exercise.


The Man.


He's got a good job and a well-groomed goatee. He's got a separate pair of shoes for work and for running and for nights out on the town.


The Man.


He keeps up the maintenance on his sensible car. He drops his punctually-paid bills into the mailbox.


The Man.


He regularly attends his place of worship. He volunteers at least once a month.


The Man.


He mows his lawn on Saturdays and calls his parents on Sundays.


The Man.


He does all the things he's supposed to do. But he still feels like there's something he's missing.


The Man.

Maybe he's missing a wife?

Maybe...or maybe not.........

Ok, my opinion is he's not missing a wife. His needs are few. He has so many good friends and he is well loved by many. Would a companion help? Sure. Someone to share evenings with, trips to ball fields around the country, and a few quiet nights. But all in all, his life is a good one...but if he doesn't think so, he can get married and realize how good he had it before.

Not a bad theory, though this guy isn't based on me...
