  • 00:23:28.763 --> 00:23:30.432
  • - like, check out,
  • 00:23:30.432 --> 00:23:32.734
  • You know, new areas and different areas
  • 00:23:32.734 --> 00:23:35.003
  • But also the food in that area.
  • 00:23:35.003 --> 00:23:37.339
  • - we'd meet together.
  • 00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:38.673
  • We'd do just, like, karaoke or something like--
  • 00:23:38.673 --> 00:23:40.575
  • We'd sing together.
  • 00:23:40.575 --> 00:23:41.810
  • But she actually sings.
  • 00:23:41.810 --> 00:23:43.044
  • We actually--we sang on one of the cruises.
  • 00:23:43.044 --> 00:23:46.348
  • - except when we get to the end
  • 00:23:46.348 --> 00:23:48.583
  • And she puts her arms up on the table
  • 00:23:48.583 --> 00:23:51.219
  • And covers all the pieces that i'm looking at.
  • 00:23:51.219 --> 00:23:55.056
  • And i'll say, you know, come on.
  • 00:23:55.056 --> 00:23:57.092
  • It takes two to do a puzzle.
  • 00:23:57.092 --> 00:24:00.195
  • - our big thing is finding a great italian place
  • 00:24:00.195 --> 00:24:02.097
  • That has handmade pasta, fresh-made pasta.
  • 00:24:02.097 --> 00:24:05.133
  • So if we can find a place like that,
  • 00:24:05.133 --> 00:24:06.501
  • We'll just continue to go back every single time.
  • 00:24:06.501 --> 00:24:09.337
  • - he likes to do the border.
  • 00:24:09.337 --> 00:24:10.972
  • And i like to do sections in which i am very good at color.
  • 00:24:10.972 --> 00:24:16.678
  • And so i choose all the things that are exactly that shade
  • 00:24:16.678 --> 00:24:20.415
  • Of color that i'm working on.
  • 00:24:20.415 --> 00:24:22.117
  • - yeah, so she's-- i mean,
  • 00:24:22.117 --> 00:24:23.718
  • And we do christmas programs around dallas.
  • 00:24:23.718 --> 00:24:27.155
  • We enjoy it.
  • 00:24:27.155 --> 00:24:28.256
  • - but a lot of times,
  • 00:24:28.256 --> 00:24:30.191
  • We'll get in our garage there and--
  • 00:24:30.191 --> 00:24:33.428
  • - have a good workout together.
  • 00:24:33.428 --> 00:24:35.063
  • - have a good little workout together, so...
  • 00:24:35.063 --> 00:24:37.699
  • - and he wants my pieces.
  • 00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:39.968
  • No, you do your frame.
  • 00:24:39.968 --> 00:24:42.504
  • But that's why he thinks i cover up the pieces,
  • 00:24:42.504 --> 00:24:45.140
  • Because i'm collecting my little color.
  • 00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:48.476
  • And i found out later that that's
  • 00:24:48.476 --> 00:24:50.545
  • How other people do puzzles.
  • 00:24:50.545 --> 00:24:52.480
  • Some people do colors, and some people do frames,
  • 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.417
  • So...
  • 00:24:55.417 --> 00:24:56.451

  • 00:27:56.131 --> 00:28:00.201
  • That we have done is to see the younger couples.
  • 00:28:00.201 --> 00:28:03.738
  • They've all been married, you know, like,
  • 00:28:03.738 --> 00:28:05.573
  • 15, 20, 25 years.
  • 00:28:05.573 --> 00:28:08.143
  • And to be sitting next to some old-timers
  • 00:28:08.143 --> 00:28:10.945
  • Who have done this for a long time,
  • 00:28:10.945 --> 00:28:12.680
  • The perspective is different.
  • 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:14.849
  • Sometimes i think it's a lot easier
  • 00:28:14.849 --> 00:28:17.585
  • With things they don't know.
  • 00:28:17.585 --> 00:28:19.587
  • But as the marriage goes into the latter years,
  • 00:28:19.587 --> 00:28:23.258
  • There's difficulty that comes along with any marriage
  • 00:28:23.258 --> 00:28:26.094
  • And with any family.
  • 00:28:26.094 --> 00:28:27.462
  • And you got to figure out how to solve it.
  • 00:28:27.462 --> 00:28:29.631
  • So it was rather interesting sitting there on the couch
  • 00:28:29.631 --> 00:28:31.633
  • And hearing them singing--
  • 00:28:31.633 --> 00:28:35.103
  • What was the dan fogelberg tune?
  • 00:28:35.103 --> 00:28:37.438
  • - "longer."
  • 00:28:37.438 --> 00:28:38.673
  • - "longer than." "longer than." "longer than."
  • 00:28:38.673 --> 00:28:41.309
  • - what great poetry. that's the best poetry.
  • 00:28:41.309 --> 00:28:43.578
  • - but just great poetry.
  • 00:28:43.578 --> 00:28:45.980
  • And it was something for some old-timers
  • 00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:48.583
  • To watch some younger folks make these pledges.
  • 00:28:48.583 --> 00:28:52.787

  • Was a song called "we're all alone."
  • 00:32:38.813 --> 00:32:40.882

  • When we were recording it.
  • 00:32:43.718 --> 00:32:45.520

  • 00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:48.056

  • 00:32:53.661 --> 00:32:55.997
  • There will be things in your marriage
  • 00:32:55.997 --> 00:32:58.499
  • That has nothing to do with your marriage
  • 00:32:58.499 --> 00:33:00.201
  • That will pull your marriage apart, you know,
  • 00:33:00.201 --> 00:33:03.571
  • A child, a relative, a niece, a nephew, a parent.
  • 00:33:03.571 --> 00:33:09.343
  • And it'll put stress on your marriage.
  • 00:33:09.343 --> 00:33:12.547
  • And there are times when you can't solve it.
  • 00:33:12.547 --> 00:33:14.982
  • It's not gonna be solved right away.
  • 00:33:14.982 --> 00:33:16.751
  • This is not an easy answer issue.
  • 00:33:16.751 --> 00:33:19.487
  • And you just have to sometimes have a night
  • 00:33:19.487 --> 00:33:22.090
  • When you just are together and it's like,
  • 00:33:22.090 --> 00:33:24.492
  • We're gonna shut the door.
  • 00:33:24.492 --> 00:33:25.593
  • We're gonna light the candles.
  • 00:33:25.593 --> 00:33:26.861
  • We're gonna play the music.
  • 00:33:26.861 --> 00:33:28.463
  • We're gonna pretend we're on some island
  • 00:33:28.463 --> 00:33:31.132
  • Somewhere in the pacific.
  • 00:33:31.132 --> 00:33:32.733
  • And for tonight, we're just gonna love each other.
  • 00:33:32.733 --> 00:33:35.570
  • And some of them looked at us like
  • 00:33:35.570 --> 00:33:40.875
  • They'd never thought of such a thing.
  • 00:33:40.875 --> 00:33:42.743
  • Some that had been married a little longer
  • 00:33:42.743 --> 00:33:44.345
  • Have had some of those experiences.
  • 00:33:44.345 --> 00:33:46.547
  • And some were shaking their heads yes
  • 00:33:46.547 --> 00:33:50.017
  • 'cause they're right in the middle of an issue
  • 00:33:50.017 --> 00:33:52.820
  • Where it's stressing the marriage,
  • 00:33:52.820 --> 00:33:55.623
  • But it isn't the marriage that is the issue.
  • 00:33:55.623 --> 00:33:59.827
  • So bill's right.
  • 00:33:59.894 --> 00:34:01.429
  • The perspective that you get after being married longer
  • 00:34:01.429 --> 00:34:04.932
  • And the things you've gone through.
  • 00:34:04.932 --> 00:34:06.501
  • And at this stage, you know,
  • 00:34:06.501 --> 00:34:08.603
  • We're sort of like the old storybook
  • 00:34:08.603 --> 00:34:11.139
  • Long marriage, which we don't get nearly enough,
  • 00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:14.208
  • Is to sit on the front porch and watch the trees
  • 00:34:14.208 --> 00:34:17.311
  • That you planted years ago that are now a forest
  • 00:34:17.311 --> 00:34:20.882
  • And get some perspective and say,
  • 00:34:20.882 --> 00:34:23.151
  • We thought we wouldn't live long enough
  • 00:34:23.151 --> 00:34:24.752
  • To see these trees, but we have.
  • 00:34:24.752 --> 00:34:27.855
  • And that applies to a lot of things in your marriage.
  • 00:34:27.855 --> 00:34:31.359
  • - i love the harmonies in it.
  • 00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:33.261
  • I mean, just all kind of beautiful harmony.
  • 00:34:33.261 --> 00:34:34.662
  • And gordon mote, such a brilliant arranger
  • 00:34:34.662 --> 00:34:37.698
  • And, i think, did a great job with all the harmonies.
  • 00:34:37.698 --> 00:34:41.068
  • But when we started singing it, we said,
  • 00:34:41.068 --> 00:34:43.304
  • I think this is gonna take more than just a male voice.
  • 00:34:43.304 --> 00:34:47.942
  • And of course, reggie and ladye love
  • 00:34:47.942 --> 00:34:49.644
  • Sing together as a duet all the time.
  • 00:34:49.644 --> 00:34:51.979
  • And i love her voice.
  • 00:34:51.979 --> 00:34:53.748
  • And it's nice to have you with the vocal band.
