OK, here's the hard one. There's one more thing I'd like from you guys,
if I can get it.

I'm even wiling to bribe you for it. :-)


I think the thing most people whose spouses have outdoor hobbies like
about them is that the spouse gets the heck out of the house and away
without it being to the nearest beer joint / strip club. And the
spouse comes home relatively sober and relatively happy.

The spouse then has the whole day to herself (or himself, but that's
not as workable if he doesn't cook) to read a novel while soaking in a
hot bubble bath, go shopping, talk for hours on the phone, make a
quilt with only the household pets to interfere, get out the bow and
arrows and go to the targets, chop down the tree she's afraid he'll
kill with himself if he chops, work on the '57 Chev engine again, or
just sleep in. Whatever it is, the spouse can do his / her own thing.
There are spouses who resent being left alone. I'd try to explain
them some other way than by saying that they have no inner resources
and are a waste of air and space, but that could be incorrect. I
doubt it's incorrect and will take a lot of convincing if you wish to
argue.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless. Really.
