HD, Welcome to the OT club, where there's is no other person, but an " other thing" which provides the zeal in our spouses' eyes. My H has his work and projects, Honey's H, the church, and now yours has the ipod. My almost 13 yr old and all her friends clamor for the ipod, so I associate it with youthful spirit. Perhaps she is tapping into a fun, young, happy part of herself, once she gets the mechanics out of the way. My interest in sex coincided with my return to the music world, which I had abandoned in my mature, early mothering days. Maybe she is starting to jazz herself up in some way. Also, the ipod is something you can join in on and connect with her, as long as you refrain from adding songs on the lyrics thread we have going.

I wonder what her reaction would be to the Stone's "I'm so hot for her and she's so cold" lyrics, among others.
