My father, God rest his soul, was not one for interfering in my life.  But, he did give me a piece of advice one time when I was in my late teens.  He said “Son, there are a lot of beautiful women in the world.  But, the trick is to find one that you can live with.”

At the time, it seemed like a nice remark but nothing more.  Now that I am much older and dating, I fully understand what he means.  And while I have met a lot of beautiful women, most of them are nuts.
