[Cardinal Rule]

I assume that most of us playing the game don't spend an evening dropping cash on clothes, crafts, scrapbooking supplies (insert other activity here) but our wives probably do.

I just did what my wife always does to me. I pre-ordered the game, then the next day I told her a little sheepishly (that's how she does it) that I bought a new baseball game for $25. She said 'Oh - ok' and then moved to a new topic.

At least this hobby doesn't cost a fortune like my other hobby (home theater - the equipment alone costs a bundle and somehow always seems to be obsolete before I even get it home, and of course DVD's are another $15 or so a pop).
