Sorry to hear that you got shot down, but I see that you made up for it the following night so I'm happy for you in that regard.
Yeah, my wife and I actually had a pretty nice weekend together. I enjoy doing things like that with her, but it would sure be nice if romance could again be a regular part of our life together. I miss so much the times when she initiated regularly, and when I could initiate knowing that she would be responsive rather than annoyed. Maybe we're slowly making progress, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes.
I see that you hate golf! I played yesterday (my second time now) with my two best friends from elementary school. It rained on us nearly all day which didn't help anyone's game very much, but we still had a great time and it was nice not having to fight any crowds. Both of my buddies are fairly regular golfers and I was encouraged that they both seemed to be impressed by how well I was doing for just having taken up the game - even complimented my swing which was a surprise. I actually outdrove them occasionally and had quite a few good shots throughout the day. But I'm quite inconsistent - I can't seem to string together many good shots at this point. Also, I definitely need to learn how to chip and putt. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and great exercise walking 18 holes through a "swamp". I'll definitely stick with it and try to improve.
