I've had dinner plans (bbq) with my sister's husband for tonight, and my W called to ask a question about my daughters. I mentioned that I was going to head over to the cookout from work after grabbing some food supplies. She got really quiet, and then asked me if I was avoiding her. I said (pretty cheerfully) "No, not at all."
Maybe she's feeling the lack of tension in the rope.
So now I'm going to make plans for a movie tomorrow night with some of the guys.
