[Linda's Pep]

I've found that taking the husband along to hang with the neighborhood guys for a few 'last of the sunshine' cold ones, and then stumbling to the house long after the wives have had to 'grill-up' to feed the kiddies results in less visits by the whole clan. To further seal the deal, take the husband on an evening walk to the find the local fireside party and return him at sun-up.

Good luck.
