I'm sorry, Lynn. I didn't mean to bring you down.

It's just I did think it was funny that, in all the situations I find myself in, and of all the sounds on the earth, and all the humans on the earth, the only sound of any consequence I can't hear is my wife.

Given this newfound piece of data, one might conclude that one could SIMPLY ASK THAT ONE PERSON TO SPEAK LOUDER, or, in addition, NOT TRY TO CONVEY CRITICAL FAMILY OR SOCIAL INFORMATION WHILE STANDING IN THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM CLOSET while I am on the main floor in the kitchen CLEANING UP MY OWN DAMN MESS, as I was gently reminded.

Alas, as any older married man might guess, it is not a viable strategy.

WOW, isn't that the truth. My wife has known for 29 years that I have difficulty hearing her meek, quiet voice and she STILL will ask me something from the other end of the house ... And then complain that all I ever say to her is WHAT ??!!

Such is life and I am thankful she's a very patient person who puts up with my idiosyncrasies. Life goes on.
