Dave and I had a very long talk last night about this doghouse-painting issue that stands in the way of our ultimate bliss. I suggested that perhaps painting birdhouses would be a casual way to immerse himself in the doghouse-painting world. I even bought a kit I thought we could do together. Instead of embracing my compromise, Dave threw the birdhouse-painting kit out the window and took a long solo ride on his unicycle. Does anyone have any other ideas?
