I got home one night and, as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, 'I want a divorce.' She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words. Instead, she softly asked me why.

I knew she wanted to find out what had...

Just A Dream?

For the last few months I had noticed the brakes on my car getting weaker and weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop and I had to push the brake pedal further to the floor. I knew that I needed a new set of brake pads put on, but it was the middle of a rough Winter and I had so many other things to do. I kept putting it off then and babied my brakes as much as I could. The other night,...

She said that she didn't have any money in her account and that she had to cash it in now (it probably totaled $5.00). I remembered being a poor college student myself...
