About six months ago when I returned home to my wife (Lady Dove), I had a windfall of about $30,000 waiting in the bank. While I have had some nice cars in my day, Lady Dove & I decided to splurge on a new SUV. Its cost was closer to $40,000 than $30,000.
We took a road trip to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma; we stopped at a rest area, and when we came out, someone had sideswiped my vehicle.
Lady Dove ducked for cover because there was a time in my life when I would have flipped the f_ _ k out!
I turned to my wife and said: “It’s just a material thing. I’ll get it fixed. C’mon. Grandma’s waiting.”
