Saturday morning, I got up early and quietly got dressed. I made myself a lunch to-go and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat to the van and proceeded to back out into  a torrential downpour.

The wind was blowing hard, maybe 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather outside is terrible.”

My loving wife of 5 years replied, “And can you believe my stupid husband is out there fishing in that!”

And that’s how the fight started.
