Be a baller. Do what YOU want and let others just deal with it.
History fondly remembers the men that made their own roads, not the ones that followed others and asked for permission.
My wife doesn't say anything about my many hobbies or when I do them. So, the handful of time a year there is something she really wants to do I oblige her. This year we are going to the Smokeys like normal but will be hiking to and spending the night in Mt. LeConte lodge. We hiked over 26 miles when we were there (Smokeys) in May.
