“Superstitious animal that I am, I’m hesitant to claim any victory; as we know, life is best lived one day at a time. But 15 years of happiness together must be a big number. Meeting each other and partnering up with my Caroline marks for me the beginning of my adult life. It’s all I ever wanted; the reason for hoisting my flag and putting myself before this world.”
