Hey all,

My darling bride has decided that she has "maybe" one Wisconsin
winter left in her and wants to move south. snip
Anyone have any thoughts?

Dump the darling bride.

Ken, that's not an option either. For one thing, she puts up with me,
that's not something that most women are willing to do. Secondly, this
is the first time in 16 years we've disagreed on something. Third,
buying a house and moving to Kentucky or Tennessee will be less costly
and less of a headache than a divorce!

My darling bride wants us to retire in Chicago. Yes, the big city.
We lived there for awhile when we both had dual appointments at
UI Urbana-Champaign and UI Chicago. She loves the city, I think
it's a dump.

So I countered with Boulder Junction, Wisconsin or Grand Marais,
Minnesota. Both are somewhat off the beaten path, *WAY* too far
off for my darling bride.

Now comes the compromise. Winona, Minnesota. It's a small college
town on the Mississippi and Amtrak runs right through it so she
can get to Chicago.

I thought I handled it brilliantly if I do say so myself.

So tell your darling bride *you* want to move to northern Montana,
and while she wants to move south you could compromise and stay
right where you are !

(I'm not going to charge you for any of this, by the way. ;-)
