    She wasn't even happy that the women's bathroom line at the concert was nil?

    Lordy, my spending is not the financial issue at my house.

    I once asked my wife of about six months, straight up, if she had a drug habit. It's the only reasonable explanation I could come up with for our burn rate.

    I have to admit I've been pretty careful about significant expenses since we got married in 2004. But, eventually, I'm buying the biggest damned TV I can afford. For me.

    $400 on a lens would only get you mockery for your cheapness in the shooter household. We like our gear expensive.

    It's times like this where bachelor life isn't too bad.

    Of course, I sprang for tickets for both a Rush and a Genesis concert this summer. That might make me a target for some women, but for me, there's no better 1-2 punch musically.

    Other than those two things and another hockey sweater, I've been very frugal ... might explain my personal life, eh?

    My shoe budget has driven almost every man I've dated nuts. That's really my only extravangence (sp).

    She spent low four figures on a purebred dog. I bought a motorcycle. She spends $4.72 a day at Starbucks; I just bought a $65 bottle of Scotch. We're pretty even on financial ridiculousness.

    I tolerate my hubby's frequent rounds of golf. He lets me buy wine and champagne pretty much whenever I want. I'm talking good bubbly.

    I want a shot at the belt. Any place, any time, any kind of match you want, Race.

    ha...true, and I admit to knowing absolutely nothing about photography. Never even took a point-and-click on an assignment and I only get to use her camera if she's going to be in the shot.
