I had to look long and hard to find Mrs Right. I was in my late 30s before we met. I practiced the catch and release method of dating for over two decades. On occasion I would catch what I thought was a keeper, but she ended up throwing me back into the ocean of other fish.
I remained friends with almost all of my former girlfriends. More than a few would call me when they had a car or house maintenance question. I had broken up with one chick but just one year later wanted me to accompany her to a car repair shop to be sure she was treated right. More than a few repair shops will recommend the muffler bearings and blinker fluid be replaced to a woman.
I don't have any malice or ill will towards any of my former girlfriends. More than a few figured I was a broke person back then and would never get ahead in life. It is satisfying to know that the only debt of any sort I have is for the company aircraft. We could see it for a profit or at least break even if we had to, but our company is doing great so it ain't for sale.
And being married for 28 years to Mrs Perfect is wonderful. Best of all, I don't have to do the dating scene. Never again.
