The art of computer programming is not Donald Knuth's only art to master...

Actually vol. 4b of TAOCP has a (combinatorial) exercise about the possible configuration settings of DK's private organ; I think I saw it near page 300 or so.

- "sensible"

There's no such thing as an unsensible hobby. Who could even arbitrate that? Who arbitrates what the meaning of fun is, for you, personally?

HOAs. They should be outlawed, or at least made legally non-mandatory.

wives

How do your wives get along?

If they don’t, you’re in a world of hurt. Maybe if they live in different houses it could work?

They probably also shouldn't know about one other unless it's a poly situation. And then you need a career like a geologist on an oilrig or a submarine naval officer to explain those long absences.
