Cate (see above is my wife). I admitted that I watched Pride and Prejudice before. But just to demonstrate how it all works out - Cate watched a lot of Packer games and all of the play offs with me last season. I have now turned her into a honest-to-goodness Packer fan. Just the other night she turned to me and said, "I can't wait for Packer season." And she is told me about this blog. We might as well come clean. Cate (see above is my wife).

I do some taking, it's just balanced, that's all. I take when I drink a beer as she is preparing a high quality meal, I take time (leaving her with child) to get some golf in, Brewers games, playing music, general partying. I actually won't be able to watch the draft this year most likely. However, I am guessing I will have the chance to listen to it in its entirety on the radio - which worked well last year - feeding me with great biased/detailed local-interest tidbits of info.

I'm no troglodyte and I'm actually pro-Jane Austen. I guess there are two problems here. 1) Andy, by his own admission, had gone out and gotten a comedy video to watch only to collapse when his wife pleaded for "Pride and Prejudice." 2) This is part of a pattern that I see with lots of my friends. There is lots of give -- and give and give and give -- but very little take. The true test will come this weekend, when we'll see if Andy can go to, say, a sports bar to watch the NFL Draft w/his guy friends or maybe even take his wife with him. I'm betting no. Fair point.

Heck, the smart ones who want to get married would be wise to brush of on their Jane Austen while dating someone they'd like to marry. ;) Hey, part of being a man’s man is watching girly TV and movies one you’re married.
