If you've run out of projects around the house, reloaded all you care to reload, and are otherwise starting to get underfoot around the house, it's time to go fishing. If you choose to fish from the bank take a lawn chair, a cooler with appropriate beverages and maybe lunch, a bobber rig and a good book and don't come home until a prearranged dinnertime.

If you have kids or grandkids to take fishing, all the better. Leave the book because you won't get any reading done. Then they'll be out from underfoot, too.

Whatever you do, keep your General Ledger's line item captioned "Domestic Tranquility Maintenance" in a positive balance.
