I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown. So sings Leo Kottke as he ruminates about how his life was different because of who he didn't marry. Me, too! For me, it could be Nancy Davis. She was planning to be a dentist and join the Navy to pay for her education. "I guess I owe it all to Nancy Davis" doesn't sound quite right. And my favorite wife might not approve, anyway.
We could have all been different if our partners hadn't chosen us or vice versa. I might have ended up as a Department of Agriculture inspector or a hyper-poet who lives for his morning vodka and cool-aid. Fortunately, I married a wonder-wife who keeps me from harming myself most of the time.
