Actually reading all this its supprising that astronomy hasnt gone underground!!!
Cheryl is really quite supportive for someone who isnt interested tho. She tells me to spend what I like and I find its
me (or rather my bank account) holding back the purchases. She doesnt like me being away too long tho, LOL. But I can generally go away for a night once in a while

You see it's not dangerous like my other past-time mountain biking and it keeps me of the streets (like that was ever a problem).
