Great article, Sherry! I would loooooove one day a week, even a half day a week, even 3 hours in one week, to myself, to be completely alone in the house. I get one hour each week, plus whenever he goes to butcher shop or cheese store. He works at home, then on his 3-day weekends lurks in his office and watches sci-fi. Hobbies outside the house? Nyet. I guess I gave up when I joined community theatre and I'm praying he will, too, if he ever retires....
