Too much togetherness

You both collect Nike sneakers?

I worked for the firm for several years and was astounded at the number of folks who collect them as works of art. In fact, many employees in R & D have degrees in architecture and sculpture.

A little over 12 years ago NIKE lost a container of shoes in rough seas. It broke open and out floated some of winter line inventory. Those shoes were used by marine science to plot currents, and finders had great fun trying to match them up. There was even a contest to see who could decorate them in the funniest sea related theme. : Doubtless there are examples in someone's collection.

On a lighter note, this thread's topic reminded me of a conversation with one of my clients. He was just settling into retirement, and when I asked how things were going, he admitted having problems being around his wife 24/7. He told me that he was working on a home improvement project earlier that day while she was looking over his shoulder. In an attempt to get a break from his wife, he told her he had to run down to the hardware store to get some supplies (knowing full well that he had everything he needed to complete his project). As he tried to make a run for the door he heard his wife cry out "let me grab my purse and I'll keep you company". :

My cousin was in town this weekend with her 3-year old. Somewhere in there talking about her husband she said "I've figured out sometimes I just have to go away and leave him alone for a while", but the way she said it I knew she didn't understand. I told her I was like that...sometimes I just need to be alone, and I can get easily overloaded in a social situation. She can't relate...she's all-social, all-the-time, but at least she figured out her husband isn't and needs breaks.

I love my wife and I love our kid, but in over fourteen years of parenting I've never been left alone in our house for more than a few hours.

Sometime I'd like to try that for at least a couple days, maybe even a week. Spouse seems to enjoy it when the kid & I are traveling!

Geez, guys, I was just fantasizing about being able to leave the toilet seat up whenever I want. Surfing all morning, eating lunch on the beach, and surfing until sundown. Spending all day doing yardwork without having to plan my schedule around honey-dos or school errands. Taking a car down for maintenance without having to consider the family's transportation logistics needs. Not having to fix dinner or clean the kitchen. Drinking more than two frosty beverages without the junior DARE police evaluating my BAC or my lifespan prospects. Being able to watch a movie at 10 PM without having anyone else go "Awwww, turn it down man!" Eructating or flatulating without criticism or applause. Falling asleep in the recliner because it's too hard to go upstairs and sunrise is only a few hours away anyhow.

You know, the stuff we used to do when we were single guys between rounds of coping with all the hot chicks throwing themselves at us.

Guess I'm going to have to develop higher aspirations... "What do I do all day?" indeed. Sheesh.

You can recall being single?!?! Well there's your problem right there...

to original poster: I highly recommend this book. You can likely find it in paperback or at the library. It requires effort to work through it with your spouse, but you are expending a lot of effort being miserable as well.

Sometimes I talk too much.

Mathjak, you sound like a very cool guy. I think we would be fast friends.
