There is absolutely no question that Sub-Evil and I would both be <em>vastly<\/em> worse off without her, and any accomplishment of mine (small as they may be) must have it&#8217;s credit shared.  The number of hours I <em>haven&#8217;t<\/em> spent doing laundry and paying bills because she does those things is huge, and if I spend even a fraction of those hours on Officially Productive things like course planning or grading or research then she has to be recognized as crucial to the venture.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I wish we could figure out is how to use one of my sabbatical years to focus on her interests, perhaps going someplace special where she could do art and I could do laundry.  The money always gets complex, though, as a really productive research year for me helps pay bills, and there&#8217;s not likely to be any money in a really productive year of art for her.
