Oh, the house husband is totally the way to go!  Mine is cooking dinner this
very minute, filling the house with deliriously yummy smells, happy as a
clam to be doing what he does in the kitchen without having to be bothered
by interference from me! /grin/

Mitzi is, of course, supervising for all she is worth!

You know, a bilingual dog could open up more job possibilities too. I think 
CRAP is on to something big. P. S. As for the housework, find a house 
husband.
