Encroachment

So I consider two areas of the home to be almost exclusively male domains. And knowing my family, I say this at some risk. However, I am confident that you will all remember that I do lean strongly in the egalitarian direction. Anyway, the first domain is the garage. The workbench, the power tools, the "shovels, rakes, and implements of destruction." They all reside there. It is the domain of the American male. And I would like to propose that the entertainment room is almost the same sort of male domain. Big screen TV's, subwoofers, surround sound, etc. I know some of you will feel a little offended by this. But too bad.

My darling wife Margarita proposed yesterday that we move all of the lounging furniture from the basement (big screen, subwoofer, surround sound - all there), and put it in the family room. She just doesn't like the basement. My response is to throw a yellow flag! Encroachment! That is my domain. I am gone for just a little while and it no longer has any value. Encroachment, I say.

I hope my air compressor is still in the garage when I get home.
