Why I Love My Wife

Today is Valentine’s Day, and it only seems right that I pay tribute to my wonderful wife, without whom there would be no Tenor Dad. There would just be lonely tenor who can’t find his way home from the store. So let me tell you why she is so great.

1) She is Crazy Supportive
I don’t know how much you read this blog, but you may have noticed that ol’ Tenor Dad does not actually have a job. Yes, there are the singing gigs from time to time, but without the support of my wife, I would not be able to do what I do. And it’s not just financial support. When it seemed financially ridiculous for me to go to grad school, she wouldn’t hear of me not going. When I am gone singing or auditioning, she’s home alone with two kids and working full time. Believe me, I know how good I have it.

2) She is Crazy Talented
Did you know that when she was in school, people used to offer to buy her paintings? Yeah, she is that good. Though these days she spends most of her time supporting her deadbeat husband, she is also a great musician, is very well read, and makes some damn fine banana bread. I could go on, but I have to get to number three…

3) She is a Great Mother
I think she even surprised herself at how naturally she took to motherhood, but I could not ask for a better mother for my children. Every Tenor Dad needs a Mom, and I chose wisely, no doubt about it.

4) She is Super Hot
I am not allowed to go into a lot of details on this one, but let me just say, me-ow!

5) She Puts Up With Me
This is by far her most unusual and heroic attribute. I mean, have you met me? Could you live with me? No, you could not. You would kill me. But Simone loves me anyway, and that is why I love my wife.
