Just last week I had the family at a local lake while on vacation and while 
sitting down chatting with some of the other parents I turned on a small Ham HT 
I had brought along and tuned in the local NOAA WX station as T-storms were 
expected.  One of the Moms asked my wife whats that?  and was told I did Ham 
radio.  She replied "Wow I didn't think anyone did that anymore!.  Shortly after 
that she pulled out some knitting supplies and started away on some clothing 
article.  I couldn't resist and said with great delight "WOW, I didn't know 
anyone did that anymore!"  It was well worth the smack in the head from my wife!
