And on That Note

Rush reminded me of something I've been meaning to say all week.

I may have not liked Ronald Reagan or Nancy (except that I admired her loyalty to him in this last difficult decade). But one thing I was always impressed by was that they clearly had a love affair that lasted all these years. There was never any question from their body language, the way their eyes expressed themselves when gazing upon each other, that each thought the other was their soulmate.

Sadly, I don't think this occurs all that frequently. It's not just the divorce rate which is above 50%. Many, after all, fall out of love or never were in love yet remain together.
