A Little Tip about breaking news to the Wife !
As always, no Guarantees !
Years ago I bought a $200 Wild Wood, Bent shaft paddle, it felt soo good in my hands ! On the way home from the canoe show, atthe Mid West Mtn, Spring Event, I worried about telling my Bride of my Extravagant purchase !
At the time My Dearest, was interested in Terry Redlin Prints ! A bell rang in my head ! (It was loud, like an empty Oil Drum)
I would just explain that the paddle was just like a Terry Redlin print to me ! It wasn't just another paddle ! I would Cherish
it !
Well, She graciously accepted my explanation, and I pull that paddle out of it's stretchy cotton bag, and fondle it every once in awhile ! I still remember that clever maneuver, and a smile comes to my face !
Well I don't know if it will work in your case ? But worth a try ! Good Luck !
