NO, this has nothing to do with Len' s Hat Trick. My wife was telling me last night we must have nothing in common and terrible relationship.[] Seems like she went to dinner with one of her school teacher friends last Friday when I was away in NY. As the story goes they were talking about fellow teachers.(I think it' s a woman thing ) Anyway the conversation gets around to (lets call her) JANE. The other gal tells my wife, " I don' t think Jane and her husband have a good relationship. I don' t see how they stay together. Yes, they seem happy... BUT.. they have nothing in common. They appear happy on the outside, but I don' t think she can be. I mean, he' s a HUNTER![] He' s always taking off on long trips to hunt. And you should see his basement. It' s horrible. He' s put all these stuffed animals in the basement.(I guess she means MOUNTS. Stuffed animals are what my kid played with when he was 2) It' s horrible. Just horrible!"

My life was laughing and said, I didn' t have the heart to tell her " not to walk in my basement. And certainly don' t look in the tree in the back yard during the fall. No telling what would be hanging there with it' s tongue hanging out" . Jane and her husband are very happy by the way. I didn' t know he was a hunter. Never had the opportunity to talk to him about such things. He does have season tickets to Maryland basketball though and they offered us their tickets last week. They go to the ACC tournament for all days every year. They do all kinds of things together but " don' t have a thing in common... because he' s a hunter" ?

The clincher was when I ask my wife what the opinionated ladies husband did. WELLLLLLLL..... it seems like he left her for another. She' s divorced. No husband. I thought that was fitting. She' s going to tell you everyone who can' t possibly be happy no matter how it looks. She has all the answers but not a clue.[:-]
