My current wife was a surgical nurse, but retired shortly after we
married. There are times when I think our best shot at staying married
is to live separately, but she would rather kill either me or herself
than agree to that.

For a couple years of our marriage she was going to graduate school in
Boston. I was working in Springfield but was spending a lot of time
setting up systems at customer sites. She would fly to Chicago, Toronto,
or wherever I was and we would have a fun filled weekend. Then she
graduated, got a job in the Springfield area, and I was spending more time
in the office. Domestic bliss wasn't in the cards.

Part of it was she had her career, I had mine, and they weren't
geographically compatible. She wound up at Columbia and I wound up in the
Rockies. We talked about getting back together a couple of times but by
then she was rooted in NYC and no way was I going back east.
