What has happened to my madcap husband, who used to bounce around a dance floor like a ping-pong ball and in whose bathrobe pocket I once found confetti? He watches TV until nine o’clock and then starts to yawn. People tell me I should be flattered that he wants to stay at home with me. Of course I am, but — let’s put it this way: I always knew a man’s home was his castle. I just never thought my man would pull up the drawbridge at sunset.
