My parents were married 67 years.
Definitely not going to make that milestone.

If you live long enough, you see weird and amazing things.
Saturday night it was pouring. I went into the kitchen about 2am. It was bright. I looked up at the skylight, and there, framed exactly in the middle, was the full moon, shining down.
Did I mention it was pouring?
A moon shower.

According to J. Michael Straczynski, Ellison also had untreated severe bipolar issues (not that it makes his behavior excusable). It was not until the end of his life that he started to look into controlling himself.
As for the other assholes...
