I'm not sure I'd call that an "accusation", because IMHO that's judgemental. Maybe they *do* love their pastime more than their family. But if so -- that's their choice. And there's nothing wrong with it, provided all parties are aware of it and satisfied with the situation. ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
