Off The Net For Awhile -- My Wife Returns Today After A Month-Long Absence -- January 14, 2016

Updates

Later, 9:40 p.m. Central Time: surprisingly she had no complaints about the house; she loved the multiple bouquets of tulips, including the bouquet in the bathroom. I prepared dinner: steelhead trout which is about as close to salmon as one can get without it actually being salmon, her favorite meal (the local grocery store with best selection of meat/seafood in the area, surprisingly, was sold out of salmon today); and tuna (sushi-grade) steak for me. Some feel steelhead trout is actually better tasting than salmon. Interesting. I did not know that. It's certainly just as expensive, if not more so.
