Thanks everybody, keep them coming.

I have been out a half dozen or more times by myself but my wife doesn't know about it (she was out of town) so I'm not all that nervous about it. I would go to a different city about a hundred miles away because my wife knows a lot of people around here.

The problem is approaching her about doing it and convincing her to do it. I know I have to ask, it's just figuring out when and how to ask. I'm afraid if she says "no" the first time, that will be her final answer.
