In the first place it is a known fact that a human cannot sustain the high level of happiness I feel for more than a few minutes — and my happiness keeps increasing. I will confess to one puzzlement but I’m sure it is just some trick perpetrated by our friends — (Ha again!) I can’t remember ever being without you and I know I was born more than 20 mins ago.Oh well — that isn’t important.

I’ve gotten very used to being happy and I love you very much indeed.Your Husband of 20 something or other. b a d c
