[Rhodes22-list] Non-sailing Spouses (was Vancouver, BC)

[Leland]

Herb,

My wife is a 2.5.  She enjoys sailing but usually has something else she'd
rather do.  I wish she would go out with me more, but I wouldn't want her
going out with me every time either.  I will always love her, it's just that
sometimes I'd prefer to love her from afar.
