2x2x2x2x2

It was 32 years ago today my wife and I met.
That’s a fair bit of time. Not quite 1/3 of a century. That will be next
year.
But, it is nice to be a power of 2. Computers are big on those and my wife
and I both do a lot with computers.

There are a lot of good memories in those 32 years. And, plenty not so
good too.
A surprisingly large number of people have tried to break us up and/or keep
us apart.
Family, people I thought were friends, mentors, and even strangers have
tried over the years.
Some of them have come very close to succeeding. Sadly there is still
plenty of damage and wreckage in our lives from all those people trying.
Yet, we go on.

My wife and I are not always in sync with each other.
But, when we are we can create truly wonderful things.
There isn’t anyone else I’ve ever met that has come close to being able to
do that with me.
It honestly baffles me that all of those people can’t see that.

For as long as I can remember I have had a goal in life to create more than
I destroy.
Working with my wife that is possible.
On my own, it is much less clear.
How can people who claim to know me not see that my wife helps me
accomplish my life’s goal better than anyone else?

Maybe after 2^5 years they will give up.
That’s a nice thought.
Maybe they will.

I'm a bit worried about the 2^6 as it is only -190 days from the mean time to system failure for me.
That's cutting it a bit close.
