at 44 with divorce number 2 nearing completion, has my 3rd wife been born yet? I hope so...I don't want to wait too long.

She is probably 10 and in the 5th grade somewhere. Better start checking out middle schools to get the relationship going. You don't want to wait and have her get hooked up with a football player in high school. Too much damage to undo.

Gary, why did I laugh and cringe at the same time when reading that?

Well, since my son is 9 I guess it'll be easy to track...

I'm an engineer and have worked in some real s***holes - Saudi, Algeria, New Jersey. And I've worked in some real nice places also, San Francisco, St Croix, New Orleans. Among the hard-core construction types - I'm talking about the world traveling mercanaries - they are really hard on their marriages.

In fact, when I arrived in Algeria, one of the first guys I talked with asked me "how many wives have you had?" It wasn't even where are you from, or how do you do? Travelling is hard on a marriage.

Bill, that's exactly where that is from. Closing line of the movie.

Except for the whistled tune.

Got an "ewww" face myself as I typed it.
