I've always said there should be a support group for spouses of engineers. They are a unique breed and very difficult to live with. My husband has been working on bookcases for our den for over a year now. If any shelf or door is one millimeter out of alignment or has the tiniest flaw, he starts all over again. I just want to put my books on shelves instead of in boxes stacked in the dining room. Now he tells me that it will be next month at the earliest before I can put my books on the shelves because they have to "season" first. Somehow it always seems that artist types marry engineer types - opposites attract? If they can keep from killing each other, it sometimes turns out to be a pretty good match. After 37 years, I'm still not sure what planet engineers come from. Tina (from Venus) Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
