My wife is leaving tonight. [View All]

[trof]

And I feel kinda bummed about it.
She likes Mardi Gras parades and scrambling for all the cheap made-in-China beads and gew-gaws the float-riding krewes throw.

I just don't get it.
I finally went to my first Mardi Gras parade last year, so now I can say "been there, done that". <yawn>

I can see how little kids would like it, kinda like Halloween with free goodies and costumes and all. It's just not my idea of a fun thing to do.

Miz t. is going with some friends. These people (including Miz t.) are all in their 60s. The parade is about 30 miles away, it may be drizzling, and the temp will be in the 40s. I'd rather stay here where it's nice and warm and dry and listen to Prairie Home Companion while sucking up a few Scotches.

She says she understands, and it's OK.
They're eating out after the parade, so she's making me pimento cheese for supper, one of my favorites.

I don't think she's pissed, but I feel like a spoilsport.
Should I have sucked it up and gone with her?
