The best I can do with my wife is play electronic "Yahtzee." And neither one of us like to lose.
Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to convert her to Sci-Fi; I even tried to compromise, but she insists I watch testesterone-sapping movies like Ya-Ya Sisterhood, The Stepmom, and Fried Green Tomatoes. AGGGH!
I guess SEIV will continue to be a guy thing.
