Introducing Bruce
Bruce loves to hike, backpack, canoe, bicycle, hunt—almost any outdoor activity. He can stay in the woods for days, weeks, even months. I have a deep appreciation for nature, but prefer to be indoors when night falls, and in a real bed when it’s time to go to sleep. "Room temperature" suits me fine. Bruce is set in his ways. The TV remote control is a sacred artifact to be handled only by our household’s "Supreme Male Being (SMB)." Bruce is not terribly sensitive, in spite of my exhaustive efforts to improve him in this area. A recent example: I come home from the hairdresser with a new cut and perm. "Your hair looks terrible." We’ve argued for years over the length of my hair. Bruce likes long hair. He has a ‘thing’ for Nell, the sexy blonde lawyer character on Ally McBeal. Nell has long silky hair that reaches halfway down her back. Nell is a slut. I hate Nell. Bruce loves dogs, and will tolerate just about any animal. I like that. Since Bruce chose to marry a domestically-challenged woman, he cooks 99% of our meals (when he’s home), and does almost all the housecleaning (when he’s home). I like that, too. Bruce is unique, ever optimistic, directionally challenged, and he gets himself into interesting situations. At least once a week—more often when really inspired—I’m going to share some of Bruce’s adventures. Thus is born The Bruce Chronicles…. |
Bruce is my
husband of ten-plus years. After saving at least half of every penny he ever
acquired since the age of three, Bruce retired at age 35. Bruce’s spending
habits will be the subject of many articles to come, so I won’t dwell on it
now. Suffice it to say he’s frugal.
