Why Mr. Fred is in Thailand: Part Three

The marriage.

I’ve been married for a long time, too long some might say, and I suppose that I have worn out my welcome. America is too expensive for double housekeeping.

How does this marrriage at a distance thing work, Mr. Fred? Are you given the um, privilege to douse your canal fires (assuming you still have them) with the locals, all with spousal consent? Hell, 5 months is a long time. Or are you "married" in name only, using this Thai thing as a convenient way to delay the other shoe finally, at long last, from dropping?

I'm playing catch-up with this thing, so I don't have a lot of answers. I do feel a little like a kid in a candy store, but I'm not taking advantage of it. My guess is that I'm still married but only in a very modern way.

This summer will be the anniversary of our wedding in 1969 in Queens NYC. I'm sure there are others still married after all these years but I bet they are also in a modern way. Many people way younger than us have been apart for months at a time and make it work so that's what this is all about: making it work and it wasn't working with you here!!

Interesting. Married in a modern way. I like that. Thinking about it, it's similar to being in the US military. Minus the bombs and Agent Orange.

Mr. Fred,
3 words: Mail Order Bride.
The postage should be almost nothing!
