Roger Stoner’s column, “Roger’s Remarks” was published
for fifteen and one-half years in the Peterson Patriot, a small-town
newspaper. The column broached subjects ranging from serious editorials
to humorous observations, the most popular of which were inspired by the
ordinary, day-to-day experiences of life as a married man.
Life with My Wife: The Memoir of an Imperfect Man, is
a selection of fifty columns from the 846 that were published between
July 1, 1989 and December 31, 2004. They appear here as they were
written, before being edited for publication in a family newspaper.
