In all seriousness, we were driving down the highway a few weeks ago and we saw a place that sells big yard barns and storage sheds, the kind that'll hold your lawn mower and all your tools and stuff, and they had several that were converted into mini cottages and small houses complete with windows with shutters and some even had an upstairs. Elena looked at them, looked at me and said "It's your dog house."

I should be so lucky! How awesome would that be to have an actual "dog house" out in the back yard where you could set up the man-cave with a kegerator, big screen, a couple of lounge chairs and a flushing "throne".... even a bunk to sleep in upstairs on those lonely nights were sleeping in your own bed is prohibited?

Either I need to get in more trouble or convince her that this is a "normal" thing for guys to have.

My ex father-in-law converted the garage to a man cave. Completely understandable since his wife is an absolute shrew (which also explains my ex-wife). It's a pretty sweet setup, he's got a small kitchen area, full-sized fridge, a small but comfy cot, one of those camper toilets, TV and lounger, and it's fully heated. Oh, and he makes his own beer, so it's always stocked. About the only thing he needs to go into the house for is to shower.

Reminds me of the Proverb "better to live on a corner of your roof than with a quarrelsome woman." ..... and makes me want to start brewing my own beer.
