I thought HTF was the support group! :D

If it helps any, sometimes I’ve realized that I’d get better results with an incremental approach after getting the green light, and I just tell my wife what I’m considering when that happens. And her response to date has always been, “if you think you can get a better deal or a better plan...

That’s actually a really great question. The marriage question I’ll leave to others. I’m either still married because of blind stupid luck that I couldn’t possibly repeat if I tried, or perhaps because I make a great boeuf bourguignon. I don’t think it’s my looks and I know it’s not my money or...
