| I am going to approach this from another angle. How into the aquarium is your wife? And what is her temperament? My sister is ANG and was deployed. She has a hubby and 2 daughters who were 5 and 15 years old when she was in Iraq. He is a take charge, type A guy and it was an awful lot for him. Frankly, I don't think he would have needed the extra responsibility of a hobby that wasn't interesting to him. He would have done it but it just would have made it that much the harder.
