Boring? What would she rather have her guy do (and at risk of totally getting flamed for this post, I am including myself and certain beloved family members on this list of other perfectly valid activities and I am just trying to make a point) 1) Uncommunicatively watch endless sports or Dukes of Hazzard reruns on TV pausing only to ask for an occasional (or frequent) Yuengling Lager? 2) Spend thousands of dollars for speed parts for a Mustang that uses a fair amount of gas, has bowel-weakening suspension settings, and is pretty much exclusively driven on a daily 48-mile highway round-trip commute, for which the need for customization (or for a Mustang in the first place, for that matter) is pretty much indefensible? 3) Disappear on regular hunting and/or fishing trips, followed by the endless shrink-wrapping of deer bologna, or the inevitable fish guts in the kitchen trash (or laundry tub, or bathtub, or worse)? Or . . . 4) Engage in a hobby that engages many different skills, including carpentry, computers, art, electric, photography, logic, model building, etc. etc., which can be done for little cost if you do it right, and does not pose significant risk to life and limb, other than possible inhalation of styrene cement fumes? My wife is happy to see me excited about my hobby, especially one where I can actually find hobby-related "stuff" in the crafts stores she frequents. By the way, I have discovered that the major craft stores carry latex mold making compound, casting resin, and a host of other things - and they also publish 40 and 50% of coupons. Go with your wives next time (a good cover for your masculinity, especially if you're pushing the kid around in the cart while she shops, I have found) . . . but you may have to fight her over the coupons.
