On the melon issue. It is a no win. If she asks, do you like these honeydews that I could buy? And you foolishly say, "yes." She will be hurt and mad that you don't like the pomegranats that she already has at home. If you foolishly say, "no, I really like watermelons," you are dead meat because she will think you are making a pig out of yourself. If you think you are wise and say, "no dear, I really like the pomegranats we have at home," she will either call you a liar because no one really likes pomegranats or she will say, "good, because I hate the agony of shopping for and cutting up fruit anyway." In this case, you don't get the honeydew you actually were hoping for. When she asks, the the only correct answer is, "uh huh, whatever you want dear." Let her go shopping for melons with her friends while you go to the lake and hope for the best. In the end, women seem to only really care what other women think of the fruit they buy. Pomegranats, peaches, cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon -- its all good, especially at Lake Powell. Yum
