We’re about to begin our fourth year of being emptynesters. Lots of plusses, some minuses. So a couple of months ago, I asked TheMom what about having another child now? She said to take it up with my second wife.

Half an hour later, I’m at the dining table, making some notes on a legal pad and she asks what I’m doing. “Drafting an audition notice,” sez I. “Audition for what?” “For what I’m looking for in a second wife.” I tell you, there’s no pleasing the woman.
