Doing housework leads to a happier marriage

An article in The Wall Street Journal caught Bert's eye and now he's putting the hypothesis to the test.  Check out this article, "Does More Housework Mean More Sex?"

Take the train!

Why is Bert smiling?  It is his first ride on a train in North America.  Not only does he not have to drive but he can also relax, read and snooze.  After visiting son Robert in the community of Hintonburg in Ottawa and helping him evaluate and prioritize major house repairs/maintenance and doing basement and yard cleaning, Bert is looking forward to some social time with his sister TingTing and longtime friends Archie and Louie in the big TO.  Unfortunately the wireless network on the train was down and he was forced to enjoy the scenery rolling by.
