Men who retire meddle in their wives business. That's why they need hobbies. Something to get them out of the house. Golf is a good thing. When they are not playing they can shop for golf paraphernalia. They can register for tournaments. They can practice their stroke. You see how this works.

One of the first things Dan did when he retired was set the freezer temperature up higher. The next day the floor was covered in melted freezer water. He experimented for a week on different settings before he hit on the one it was customarily set at. He eventually did the clean up.

He didn't like the picking up preparatory for the cleaning woman to clean. He took over the chores. I tried not to criticize. He used no products when he cleaned. He told me proudly the way he cleaned the toilet was flush first then take a fist full of toilet tissue and wipe off the seat.

He vacuumed the day company was coming. You could tell from the track down the center of the hall.

It was important that I be at work. 'She's so spoiled. Her husband has dinner ready every night." The dinners I cooked all weekend and he re-heated. If I had not been at work we would have tangled. I don't know how retired couples coexist.

Unless one has a hobby to occupy ones day.
