Well, last week I got the OK from my wife to attend this month local (relatively speaking) CD/TV club meeting in the city. It was a bit awkward. I asked her what she thought the chances where of me being able to get together with some like minded individuals. She asked where and wanted to know why this was coming up now. I told her it's been with me for years but only now can I act on these......feelings, thoughts (urges even?). I can't really explain them or know what to call them. I had mixed feelings then....excited but also depressed/apprehension as to how she is taking this. She said "do whatever", which we all know can mean a number of things. She didn't ask how I would be dressed or when I would be leaving the house, I'll planned to just roll with that when the day came. The kids had already been told they may have to remain on their rooms while I get ready and depart as I think their mom will not want them to see me. The kids, by the way, are ok with this.
However, mother nature had other plans and us poor Nova Scotians got dumped on again. Second storm in three days, on top of the mutilate of Nor'easter we have endured this winter, so no trip into the city. Don't know when the next opportunity might be. When it does come, I planning on just (I know this may be contentious and stir up debate) letting her know I'll be off to "that meeting" on that day.
