Opposites do attact...

So, I'm reading this book - "Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America's Reputation and Leadership" by Madeleine Albright. Albright was Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, and a former US Ambassador to the UN. Foreign affairs scholar and expert...I'm a big fan.

The wife saw me reading the book yesterday, and in her usual humor asks "who's Maddy Alred?"...my response was "you wouldn't be interested". I know her well.

A few minutes ago, as we were laying in bed in our usual "old married people" way - her watching TV with her wireless headphones on, and me reading my book...she asked how my Alred book was.

Me - "I like it"
The Wife - "What is it about?"
Me - "An analysis of Foreign Policy going into the next administration."

[A momentary pause]

The Wife - "I'd rather have my eyelids nailed to the wall"

Yeah, we are just peas in a pod over here.

At least I know she won't be stealing my books.

I'd rather have my eyelids nailed to wall than read anything by Albright either!

Needless to say, I'm not a big fan.
