Gee Buzz,
Looks like you've got it made with only one woman/wife to keep you on
the straight and narrow as an assistant.  I've got two women on mine all
the time.

Good wife Irene who has the brains and attitude along with Sandy Carter,
my trusty assistant/associate with brains & creative eye!  They rule the
photo operation when they are to-gether,  it's hell sometimes because
when it's a set-up like that.............  I don't say a thing least of
all talk back, I merely go along like a simpering little pup obeying "My
masters voices!"  :-)

Well they're not bad,  at least at times they let me sit in the front
seat if I've been good, worked hard and providing I stay quiet. ;-)

But when it comes time to critique the shoot, boy can they be mean
mothers! ;-) I know very quickly if I've done a good shoot or not.
Besides it's always two to one and that's two women to one man, hell man
I never stand a chance when they gang up on me.  But when the images
really work they are very quick to give praise.

Guys don't take this too serious as it's tongue in cheek  (if i don't
say that Sandy may read this and think i'm serious and then tell irene! 
 (and guys you know what happens when your wife thinks you're being
overly serious) :-)
