Surmounting Marriage
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Before agreeing to marry my husband Mark, I asked him the usual questions:
- Do you know what a hamper is and have you ever actually used one?
- Do you spend weekends sprawled in front of a sports-spewing screen, devouring couch potato chips?
- Are your parents likely to drive me to drink?
Mark told the appropriate fibs, I pretended to believe him, and several months later we wed. But soon after the wedding, I realized I’d forgotten to ask the most important question of all: When you see a mountain, do you get an irresistible urge to do something stupid? (Surmounting Marriage is continued here.)

My husband enjoys rock climbing. It is a bit scary to me to think of him partaking in this sport, but I knew before he was a rock climber.

Mooning Mormons, especially in Utah, is dangerous business!

I like it. That is funny, women see just a bunch of trees in the woods. We men see our caged nomad instincts being fulfilled by hanging, climbing or careering down a cliff like madmen.
