I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully

My spouse and I read the newspaper and drink our coffee together every morning before breakfast.  We read things aloud to each other as if the other might not see it when it's his turn to read that section.  Sometimes one of us will swear, sometimes we'll chuckle.  It's a very special time that I look forward to even as I concentrate on falling asleep at night.  The editorial page always holds topics for lively conversation, as does the comic section. 

Sometimes we read about someone who ran into a burning house to save a child, or a cat...or didn't.  I usually offer my version of what I would have done.  And my spouse is there to tell me that I don't know what I would do until it happens to me.  He's right about that.  I hope we'll go on drinking coffee and reading the paper for a long time.  And when the day comes that I can't do that anymore, I don't know what I will do.
