We have our own business that requires weird hours – add to that the fact that I spent years writing books at night and the hours grow even longer.  Every time though, Charmer is there, supporting whatever is going on – in more than 30 years that we’ve been together, she’s always preferred to be sleeping on the couch way into the night and early morning – no matter how late – until I was finished.  So, instead of just being alone and working on whatever project is happening, I get company, a view and knowing that she’s making sure I get it done.  Pretty amazing.
