Remind my wife that she does matter and I do love her above all things...now that season is over again.

I am somewhat joking, but this year has been tough now that she lives at the hunting spot. She has been working extra long hours and she referred to my schedule as a 3 week party. Really, it was only a 2 week party. After that the mushrooms and turkeys had pretty much run their course.

I blame it on the kids! We hunted 3 weekends prior to my season even starting. So, it is mostly me trying to be the best parent I can be. But, it didn't help that the 1st week I kept the fryer on the front porch and everyday there were several guys over eating turkey, mushrooms, fries, onions, and drinking lots of beer.
