E is a lot of fun sometimes

We're now married for nearly 32 years. She is a very strong, intelligent, and capable woman. She has a great sense of humor, and even pretends to like mine sometimes. That's pretty good.

So, we're watching a documentary on moose. Why, you ask? Well, who the hell knows. It's just noise in the background. A guy is carrying around a huge moose head with giant moose antlers, way out in the Canadian woods. This allows him to get close to both males and females. He scrapes a shoulder bone on trees, and then proceeds to blow on a birch bark horn. He uses two calls at different times. One is long and horn-like, kind of gurgly. The other call is short, kind of a grunt/hoot (this one is for males, the other is for females).



Well, shortly after he starts up, E starts hooting and gurgling. She just tells me, "I can do that," and starts up making moose mating calls. I had to laugh, she looked so proud! This is kind of what I like, a bit of whimsy and spontaneity. Keeps things kind of lively around here.
