We've been married almost 58 years and there is no better feeling than waking in the morning knowing you are going to enjoy another day on our trip around the sun with someone you love and loves you.

Retire and find a special person in the same year, you seem to be on a roll. Can you make a trip to DC or Mar-a-Lago to see if some of your good chi can be passed on?
