Now once again, [A] Nancy Griffith.
[N] Eric is fixing to get married again, and he called me last week and told me he's going to get married again.
You know, we I think that's great.
People are going to get married again.
They're all they're always wanting everybody else to get married at the same time.
So Eric said, Why don't you get married again, Griffith?
And I said, Well, you know, I don't want to get married again.
I did that once.
So but he said, What was really so bad about being married?
And I said, Well, it was the first time in my life that I ever had a room of my own.
There was somebody else in there.
He said it just that way, too.
It was it was long [E] distance.
