LOL.....can anyone take a guess how long she's been married?  Just kidding....

Maybe I'm too cynical or maybe my marriage isn't perfect, but mostly I'm
glad Hub doesn't hike.  I LIKE/NEED/WANT time alone.  I want something
that is mine alone....a place that is mine.....a place to recharge.
We share a lot of interests....the river and the boat and canoeing and these
things give us a chance to get away from the screens and focus on each other..
And we do day hike together on the weekends but that's his desire.
But my time in the woods is mine alone and I'm reakky gkad that it's that way.
