The Audiophile's Wife


My wife has put up with my a-phile ways for years and has decided to write a blog about it. Thought you (or more likely your spouse) might get a kick out of it.

Even though she writes with a bit of an edge, she's really a good sport and very supportive of my "hobby".

I wasn’t aware she was writing again Bill, but good for her, and good for you both to be retired.  I keep threatening to chase my wife into retirement but I cannot tell if she is happy or scared about that - it will either be, “oh good, I can get stuff fixed anytime I need to,” or “doesn’t he have somewhere to go…or cables to build?”

My RLJ guess would have been Weasel and the White Boys Cool but I like the guess by @sbank too - Last Chance Texaco.  I really like both of those songs on Naked Songs, which is my favorite RLJ album. Happy New Year!

grannyring,

 

I enjoy your wife's writing SO MUCH.  What a wit!   She's the female Art Dudley (or "anti-Art Dudley"?)

Please encourage her to keep it up, and know that many of us still read and get a huge kick out of the blog.  My wife was just asking what I was laughing at and it was, of course, her latest piece.

Simply the best & so funny, clever, and creative!  Grannyring, you are one lucky man!!!  What an amazing wife you have!

To have a wife that understands you, sort of, is to be blessed indeed.

Especially one who is articulate and writes so well.

Her blog could be a great balm to some of us afflicted with audiophile urges. A cure, of course, might be a little too much to ask for.

Here’s just one fine example of what you are likely to find there.

 

 

Rock a Bye Baby

 
Recently I overheard a fragment of a conversation The Audiophile was having with his stepson. His stepson, for those of you working through this biological conundrum, is also the only human being I’ve personally baked from the size of a bean to the size of an 8-pound bean.

As always, I wasn’t paying a lot of attention until I heard The Audiophile say, "A tube amp is a great first project, but you’ve got to be careful because you’re dealing with anywhere from 350 to 525 volts under the hood, and that will kill you dead very quickly."

Soooo, if I understand this correctly, what we have here is a situation where The Audiophile has somehow enticed my 180-pound bean to engage in a hobby that, on a really bad day, may very quickly turn one of them into a big pot of soup.
