One clarification: It's not a "garage", it's a "man cave". I just came in from mine where I was reading the newspaper in the nice chair with matching footstool my wife found during curb shopping a month ago.
I've had basicly the same hair style since 1980 or so. I had it a bit longer during grad school when I cut it myself. I've had my beard continuously since 1984. My wife has never seen my face clean-shaven.
This is so true.. men just have it easy! Example: Ben and I are attending a retreat next week for his work. The last day of the retreat there is a formal awards dinner that he and I will be attending. He'll be wearing a suit, the same one he's wore for this event every year. On the other hand, I had to go shopping for another formal outfit. (not that I minded a lot, but post-baby bodies aren't always easy to dress!)
Most of those are pretty general and don't always apply (my work shoes tear my feet up for the first couple weeks). But standing to pee and never being pregnant pretty much rule.
