Much of what happens to us is a consequence of our choices which are affected by our nature and how we were nurtured (trained). Re: The car washing thing. Cars are generally a man's domain. I can clean the kitchen operating room standards, at least to my mind, but SWMBO always comes after me, finds something amiss to her mind and does some touch up. I suspect it's the same psychology with respect to Hubs and car cleanliness.

I was on an orchestra trip with my daughters (part of the SCYO), as a chaperone - but I got to play my flute too. We saw "Carmen" there… but we were all so tired from the whirl-wind trip I think many of the young people napped during it.
