Title: What to do
Post by: Geff_t on April 25, 2007, 11:17:40 PM: Well the wife wants to send me to Seattle for a Mariners game on the Lond weekend but I would rather go fishing for two days(she has to work monday) . The thing is the baseball game is an early father's day gift that I am not suppose to know about but someone, I wont mention any name (searun) kind of spilled the beans to me about it. So how do I get her to change her mind and send me to the interior instead. I guess I could whisper it into her ear while she is sleeping and hope that when she wakes up she will say that she had a great dream about me fly fishing with my new sage.

Your wife has probably been thinking about this for a while and is secretly pumped that she's doing this great thing and you're going to be very happy about it. It's going to be a major let down for her if she knows that you're not that thrilled about her plans.

Decisions decisions, both very good options. I like the tired of sports but then again I'm not married, bentrod has a great argument, make your wife happy, and you could probably get a couple of fishing weekends in.

I'm going to agree with Bryan on this one.

The other thing you need to do is pray she doesn't read this forum....LOL :D ;D

Never worried about that. She does not like to fish or even read about it. She laughs when ever searun and I tell old fishing stories.
