Mike,
I tell her that frequently. Also that life is too short to shoot an ugly gun, the birds are too beautiful to be shot with and ugly gun, etc. Then there is the comeback of how many Coach purses, shoes does she need. Of course there is the "you do something nice for me, I'll do something nice for you" comment that sometimes works.
After 44 years of good marrage, we both enjoy our hobbies.
