While you were away

Sorry, Gary, but the natural consequences of you going on RAGBRAI without your wife are:

1. Enjoying a lot of newly crocheted dishcloths and coasters. And complimenting your wife accordingly.
   
2. Having to adapt to the other side of the bed because your wife is now accustomed to sleeping on your side so that she can keep her iPhone plugged in all night and tuned to Minneapolis Police and Fire scanner channels.
3. Finding yourself with two tickets for you and your wife to see bonafide chick music at the Minnesota State Fair. (You will learn to love her.)
