We all know that our answer isn't really the answer.<br /><br />This, to me, is one of life's great mysteries. I know I have never made a honey-do list for my SO, so why is it that I get them all the time? <br /><br />I think it comes down to our differing definitions of "Fun". Is it "Organize, Clean, and Fix", or is it actually "Fun"? Because I can guarantee you that riding the Alpine Loop this weekend is going to be WAY more fun than finishing the cabinets that have been sitting there, half done, for over a year.SkiMoabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334304353296452705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461231512323904048.post-5200767197479397942009-05-04T07:40:00.000-06:002009-05-04T07:40:00.000-06:00Ryan Ashbridge.

If I don't do enough honey-dos my wife may think one day "now why do I need this cycling bum?"<br /><br />And I don't think I can sell her on the idea that cycling keeps me looking good (I'm 2 days away from 45, so no amount of cycling is going to turn the clock back enough to matter).<br /><br />So handy is all the hand I got. As Red Green says "if women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy".<br /><br />Tread carefully, my brothers.<br /><br />Is half-assed the answer? Turning a 2 hour job into a 10 minute jury rigging with duct tape? Perhaps it will buy me a full Spring of cycling.

I guess she's learned.<br /><br />Wish she could figure out how to hang the rack for a hand towel next to her sink in the bathroom.
