by Dale Harcombe

52 years married and still in love with his wife, that was the picture actor Alan Alda presented in a recent interview with Andrew Denton. These are some of the things that impressed me in that interview with the 73 year old actor. Firstly, that he and his wife Arlene have been married 52 years.

Last week I'd seen a sign about alpacas. I love alpacas. They are so cute. So we visited the alpaca farm on Saturday. Since Mick's been sick all this week I suggested we stay home, but he thought it might be good to get out for a bit.

Given the emphasis on divorce recently on the marriage blog, I thought I'd share a few examples of marriages that have stood the test of time. Our local paper this week had an item about Marjorie and Frank Thompson, who this week celebrated 64 years of marriage.

There are always exceptions to any rule. Statistics can give a general pattern of society's trends but there are always those that defy the odds and do not fit the general pattern. As I read Mary Ann's article, I was saddened to read the sad state of marriage in America.

Mick had his turn of looking after me, now it's my turn to look after him. On Sunday night we went to carols at the beach. Despite the heat of the day and the fact it's summer here in Australia, that evening turned quite cold and windy.

An adventure that began two years ago in Pets, then expanded to Marriage a little over a year ago when I first introduced myself here, has reached journey's end. Today I'm writing to say farewell. Dale should be rejoining you all very shortly.
