lets lighten things up a bit

Dear Abby,

I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and kids,
great job, and great education.

When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my
favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and
tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.
Finally, one day at the Bait &Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop
owner who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly
became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn\'t care about fishing; she
not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time
fishing.

A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I
catch the most beautiful bass you\'ve ever seen, only a few minutes later
Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding
up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife
hoping that maybe she\'d get interested. Instead she says she doesn\'t want
me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I
think she just doesn\'t like to see me enjoying myself.

What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or
quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?


Thanks, A fisherman

PS I have enclosed the picture of Sam showing off the bass we caught.
