Need Wedding Anniversary/Clemson Football Marital Advice
Oct 7, 2012, 11:07 AM
So throughout the year I have been fully aware that my wedding anniversary is on Nov 17 which is a home game. So well in advance I purchased airfare for the Nov 10 game. I often travel home alone as would be the case here. Just as an aside, my wife and I will be vacationing in the Smoky Mountains and attending the next Clemson game together on Oct 20 (my first game this year)
So the problem is that my wife just requested that I take her to the Hollywood Bowl on Nov 11 to see Barbara Sreisand and Chris Botti. Forget for a moment that although Chris Botti concerts are fantastic and usually include old friends such as Sting, I have no desire to see Barbara Streisand and hear her political views (e.g., I once booed Patti Austin when she began a concert with disparaging comments about the President of the United States at the time and she immediately quit talking and started singing not mentioning politics again that night). Since I would be traveling alone for any November games, I purposely avoided being out of town on our anniversary.
There are not that many more games and I will be honoring family commitments in Napa Valley for Thanksgiving. I need your thoughts on how to attend a November game and also stay happily married.
