I had an interesting argument with one of our interns a few years back... she was complaining about how tough school was and how easy work was and etc... of course i laughed at her and told her she had NO idea what the hell she was talkin about... looking back, when i was complaining about college, now, I long for those easy days and light work loads... even without all the partying and women (and there was lotsa both) college was so much better than "real" life...
ya it sucks you can't go hunting, but, in your situation I wouldn't sweat it much... just make up for it with some drinking and sleepin around so we (all us old married farts with kids and family responsibilities) can all live vicariously thru you!!! daily updates (with pics) would be a nice start!!!!
