Cindy and I have been married 40 years and we have arrived at several arrangements. These arrangements differ in importance. At some point we arrived at a significant agreement regarding shopping. I don’t. I buy. I do not care what Cindy spends as long as there is something left at the end of the month. I refuse to follow her around and watch what she looks at.
Now, it appears our arrangement is in some jeopardy. In North Dakota, going shopping may mean something a little different than you might imagine. We like to shop in Fargo because Fargo has a bagel shop and a Barnes and Noble. Fargo is about 75 miles away. This is not an unusual shopping trip in North Dakota.
I don’t mind going. It is not the time. It is what I have to do when I get there. Ever see that grumpy guy sitting in one of the stuffed chairs while the wife tries on clothes or looks for special finds for the grand kids. That could be me. EXCEPT – malls have wifi. Coffee shops have wifi. I can exist for possibly a week if I have wifi and coffee.
However, it appears today that our arrangement has encountered a problem. Is it possible that the mall is concerned that people are taking advantage of the free wifi.
