...So maybe the sail boat is a bit out of league for him... but I see busting routine as a major 'take charge' avenue HD can pursue. There is nothing more sexy than a man with a purpose... with a passion in his life. He'll go do it whether Mrs. HD goes with him or not... but the passion that fills his life will overflow to her.
nice, romantic idea, but it doesn't always work that way. This can also quickly become another source of discontent, i.e. "HD spending too much time on his passion". mine isn't a boat; but it does say "land yacht" on the side of it.
