Act 1, Scene 1.
Players: Self (S), Wife (W), 21 y.o. daughter (D)

S: I Think I'll go look at a mast at "site sponsor" (Hi Sam)

W: Sooooooo...you are just going to LOOK??

S: Well, i may need to try it out

W: How much?

S: About $360

D: This windsurfing is an expensive hobby!

S: So...relative to you two, how much, in last 12 months, have I spent on make-up, product, hair, bags & shoes????

Big silence

several minutes later....

W: So why do you need to take your sail bag & all your GEAR, just to LOOK at a mast

S: You have to individually fit a mast to a sail....[blank looks]...OK, would you buy a dress from a picture, or go to a shop & try it on at least 3 times

[more silence]

gotta go....have a date appointment with MY chiropractor

My guess is - they still don't get it.

You're a brave man Pete I hope the wounds heal soon.

Out of sync? they're that far out of whack that they're generally in totally different time zones.

Pete's efforts are very impressive, HUGE respect for going down that particular path of masochism

Act 2 - The Betrayal

So I go to the Chiro, get back & neck adjusted.

The lovely Naomi says "... & no windsurfing today??" " SURE"

As we go out to the waiting room, there's a good mate of mine from tennis (no names eh Julian).

He says " hey Naomi, look at Pete's car.....it's full of windsurfing gear"

She disappears with fingers in her ears going "La La La La La....I didn't see or hear that"

Bugger...may as well go & 'LOOK' at a mast[}:)]
