Agreed. My S.O. (who is about to become INsignificant) likes to
wonder
aloud
"Whattya do on a boat all day???" She'd die without cable TV.

Uh-oh...

One good thing about my ex, illustrated by an example:

Me: Wanna go fishi.......
interruption
Her: I'll get the cooler. And, we need to set a limit of 12 hours. I
have to
do laundry later.

She wouldn't always fish, but she could be happy watching birds with
binoculars for hours on end.



Twelve hours? My wife likes to go fishing, but if I kept her at that
activity for 12 hours, she'd hang me from the imaginary yardarm.

Perhaps I exaggerated a bit. :-) But you know what I mean. She'd go out for
hours on end, especially in some of the wilderness lakes, like in the
Adirondacks.

A friend of mine loves to fish, but he packs his day with so many
consecutive plans that sometimes, his idea of a good day of fishing is 3
hours, 1 hour of which is spent with travel and ramp in/out. Crazy. It takes
me an hour to get connected with what the fish are doing, and after
that....leave me the phuque alone.
