Without hesitation I responded "On a plane back to Florida."

I'm still proud of that moment. I laughed, she didn't. I was kidding, sort of.

So, how is your ex-wife doing?

Really. We had our fair share of fights because of her. I never liked her, she never liked me. When I proposed to Wendrfull her mother cried. Now that she's passed I try not to repeat the things I used to say.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully there is peace now and a happy family!

I got along fine with my in-laws. At times better than my wife did! The problem for us was a few years after my father died and I had my mother move in with us since she was unable to live by herself anymore. I could never think of putting her into a nursing home so we took her in.

Then the fireworks started! It got interesting having my wife and mother in the same house. To make it worse, my mother was slowly declining and started to act more like a child at times. She lived with us for 6 years until she passed away last year. Even though there were rough times, I know she was much happier living with us and being able to have as much freedom as possible. We let her shop for her own groceries (snacks, drinks, etc.) and we gave her a part of the refrigerator. I am not happy she died but the household is more peaceful. Her death and having to figure out how to get her from California to New York to get buried, arrange the funeral, sell her car and sell her house is a whole other story for another time!

There was this one time I was filming a movie on an airplane. Some bozo decided to let some snakes loose while we were in the air. After a fit of anger, I said "Get these snakes off my mother @$#%% plane"!!!!! I then proceeded to kill every last one of them.
