Hoping for a new TAW post. I like brownies.
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".

@grannyring The best thing I have read on A'gon is your wife's blog. |
I rarely have read anything with insight and entertainment such as this.
Many years ago, it was kind of the opposite in my life. I dated a belly dancer. No, in real life she wasn't belly dancer material, but that didn't stop her. I should have been writing it all down. Maybe I will recall some the weirdness of the 'relationship' and write it down. |
@unclejeff LOL! "after I put all of the boxes (evidence) away" I thought I was the only one that did this...it involves new record purchases, after I have told her like 100 times, no more new records, lol. |
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 BabyRecently 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.

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. |
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 Loved the post that implies she hates RLJ debut, which happens to be my favorite album of all time. Is Last Chance Texaco the song she likes? My fav too. I got a kick out of that. Cheers, Spencer |
My wife has been posting new content so if you want a good laugh, then check it out again. Merry Christmas Agoners! https://www.theaudiophileswife.com

I'll say it again, Grannyring: you are a lucky guy. Your wife is not only a talented writer, she is very witty and funny. If she were single, and I were single, well.... Sorry man, I'm sure you understand. BTW, my wife loves the blog; she wants to know if your wife will consider a request for subject matter. BTW Chadnliz, I don't get how you could have possibly thought she was a guy. Maybe you should drop it? It's ruining my fantasy ;-) |
