Jim, that's rude. Start a thread, then book for parts unknown. If you care to wonder why the better half isn't here, that's it.
Kidding, right?
Jim had to go counter the communist terrorist supporters in Fresno important work...I am sure he didn't mean to be rude to you or Slipie.
It wasn't to parts unknown. Jim and his family are on the street corner every Friday night, rain, sleet, hail, and 115 degrees showing support for our troops, and countering the Anti war nuts across the street.
If what you mean is, he isn't watching this ship, then that is certainly not true. He is out there practicing what he preaches. Perhaps you can tell your wife that. I hope she decides to return, and I think she will btw.
