My wife first thought I was just plain crazy, now thinks I'm so addicted to the computer I can't have a normal face to face relationship with real flesh and blood people. She's not interested in AWAD or what we talk about either, so I don't bore her by telling her about what goes on or who is on it. Of late, I believe she's beginning to suspect that I'm really spending my time on some sort of peculiarly nasty porn. She gets really annoyed that I spend the amount of time I do alone in my office (spare bedroom) with the computer instead of sitting by her side in the den while she is looking at yet another episode of "Entertainment Tonight" or QVC, or something equally worthless, which I have no interest in watching.

Does this sound like we have one foot in the divorce court? Well, this June we will celebrate our 40th anniversary. In spite of the fact that she has spent at least 18 years annoyed at me (an impressive figure considering that she has spent about 13 years and 4 months asleep).
