   Oh, what a shame. Maybe you could get her started playing golf? ;)

   Amen! I'm the same way. And perhaps the interplay between you and your   
   wife works the same way it does for me and my wife? Basically, it only   
   goes one way. If I work, she asks a question and if I do not respond,   
   I'm an ass. So reluctantly I sigh, answer, and start over.   
      
   Should I however, dare to even breathe when she is into something she   
   scolds me. But we already covered internal eye-rolling and internal   
   sighing, and as we both know, that's the success recipe for a good   
   marriage! ;)

   Ahhhh... so that is the trick! My wife would be thrilled. She loves me   
   in long hair, yet I love me in short hair. ;)
