Subject: [CR]Spouses and stashes

I know this subject is about wore out, but here's my 2 cents: With a divorce rate of near 50%, what are you worried about? It could happen to you, but it will not be over bikes. Yes, my wife used to roll her eyes when I would bring home a new ancient "project", that I was beeming over finding for 10 or 15 bucks, but she was grateful that I wasn't sittin' in the bar drinking up the paycheck, gambling, watching endless football on TV, beating her, etc. My one vice is bicycles. So remind her that golf and any number of other 'addictions' are far more harmful. And take her to dinner and buy her earrings and a bracelet once in a while, fer petes sake. She might leave, but like Lance says: It's not about the bike(s).
