Some refinements to the story: a) The picking of a restaurant usually does NOT start with my wife suggesting a name, but she would say something like: "YOU choose!" Then, when I would make a suggestion, she would go like ..."Uhmmm... CHOOSE AGAIN!", and that over and over again, until I "choose" the restaurant she had in mind all along. b) I didn't solve that puzzle in 5 seconds flat. I deliberately took my time, appeared to consider different moves, and she even made some move suggestions that I pretended to consider (and then rejected), before, finally, finishing the game with a look on my face as if I didn't believe it myself (even though I could have done it in 5 seconds... with my eyes closed), after which we high-fived. Only THEN did she start to glare at me ... followed by a "WAIT a minute...". I guess there aren't many things I can keep from my wife, after 11 years of marriage. ;-) Now, if ONLY we could find a venue where they HAVE both beer and a ‘peg’ game!

She was outright MEAN! Do you know what she did? She would take pictures when I would do our traditional New Year's Polar Bear Club Swim. I got into the FREEZING water and then she wanted me to COMPLETELY submerge! And then she kept yelling: "Stay down, stay down, stay down" (Did I mention the water was FREEZING?) Until I noticed SHE WASN'T TAKING ANY PICTURES!!! I got out and jumped into the already running hot shower and asked her what that was all about, and she said "I just wanted to see how long you could stay down!" Silly? She was outright MEAN!
