I personally tell my wife that I am going fishing. Sometimes I actually do. I usually catch the 0600 boat from unamed sportfishing and I am done by 1130. I tell the wife that I am taking the all day fishing trip(0600 to 1800) this gives me a good five hours in la zona. I am curious what other married men tell the wife since I need a excuse during the winter (don’t know anyone who fishes in the winter).

Tell her you're going to a Clippers game at the 'Sports Arena'. And buy and frame some old retro World B. Free posters or something to lend credibility!

Personally, when I was quasi-married and living in the Bay Area, I used to pick fights and strategically storm out of the house on the weekends and make a beeline for the border (had a good excuse, I grew up in So Cal and was a relative stranger in the Bay Area, and had a REALLY fucked up relationship). All I had to worry about after that was to make sure I didn't fuck so much on Sunday night that I was OK for at least one round of the immensely pleasurable MAKE-UP SEX on Monday after work. As always, tho, YMMV.

Why not ask her to go along for a dupla?

Well I know some of you cannot do that, but it was just a thought?

Other thoughts?

OH

Padres game and pre or past bbq with the guys.

I*'m a lucky one. I travel to TJ regularly on business. Usually wrap up business by noon and then head to the Zona for some fresh pickins.

CJ, sounds like your wife is the lucky one! BTW, thanks for the primar you posted below, I guess most of us have just been doing it all wrong!
