My wife of 34 years (we married young) will be accompanying me to Chicago but has absolutely zero interest in attending any of the shows any day, nor the Forum 54 Dinner. She will be going to museums, exhibits and cultural events and do some serious shopping. We will meet up each day for supper but she is excited about going to Wrigley and seeing the Cubs. She likes baseball (unlike her husband who is a former ballplayer and eats, sleeps and breathes THE game). I still read the boxscores every single morning to see how the Twins did.
She tolerates my hobby and obsession. She has a general idea of how much my collection is worth and I try to finance new card deals by using profit derived from sale of cards I own, rather than dipping in to our checking, savings or other accounts. She humors me because she knows it keeps me off the streets, out of bars, etc. which is the primary destination of most criminal attorneys
