Nice opening. I love the statue. May I ask what it is? (Yes, I'm a philistine.)

"and a wife who I love more than life, itself." I knew there was a reason I really liked you.

Thank you, for the comment, and subscribing!

The statue, I believe, is of a baby Bacchus. I took a photograph (yes, a photograph) of it using a Canon Sure Shot (which meant I had to actually have the film developed when I returned to the US) when I was in Helsinki for a few days before leaving for Leningrad (back to St. Petersburg, once again), via train.

Yes, you need to write. All that right there is so far outside any experience I have had or could even dream of having.
