64. When the wife is away

In certain aspects, life is absolutely wonderful! I can spend 24 hours with myself, no problem. I eat all the things that I crave (pizza and chila and dosa and noodles and what not). I watch movies, surf, play chess to my heart's content.

But when the wife is away, life is also strangely empty. There is this big void and that is something that I forget when she is around.
