The recliner and a blankie?

"The recliner and a blankie?"

Nope. A hot shower and a long list of chores.

Not to worry, though. I most likely won't get very far through the list.

[Clinging Bitterly]

For reasons which I would love to thank the President some day, my wife and I are presently maintaining two households. I, where I can earn a good living and she, where she doesn't hate being (the word "hobbs" has a usage not heard much these days, but it fits for the name of the gritty oil patch town where I park my bones for the time being).

It is because my business trip to CO last week fell across our anniversary (21 years), I made the extra round trip from Pueblo to Denver two times, to pick her up and drop her off at the airport, so that we might have a rendezvous, have dinner together a couple times and so forth.

So it was a nice time, but in her absence I do enjoy the recliner and blankie situation over the weekends sometimes. That is something which she WOULD NOT permit if she were here.
