My next race is who knows when, late August, other than the Rent and Ninigret (Tues and Wed Night Worlds).
Sounds better than some alternative scenarios that some people might face:
Significant Other: "I think we need a dining schedule."
Racer: "?"
SO: "Monday you get take out. Tuesday is the Ritz. Wednesday we go to Tonelli's or the Sycamore. Thursday we're going to the couples spa for a massage and apps. Friday, easy, don't get any crazy ideas. Saturday 2 hours of cleaning the house. Sunday 4 hours of work in the yard. Minimum 2 Michelin stars every time we dine."
