Matt, do not, under any circumstances, wait one more minute. Call a CFI
and set up a "Discovery Flight" -- it won't cost much. Then take your
wife to the airport, and let HER fly in the right seat with the
instructor.

You sit in the back. Watch her have fun.

Trust me I've had those thoughts, I just have to wait untill the grad school
bills quit coming in. It get's pretty tough to justiy flight training on top
of that. But that ends very soon and I'm already planning (scheming) to make
all this happen.


Just be careful -- if it works as well as it did for me, you'll end up
splitting left-seat time for the rest of your life!

I would be thrilled to do nothing more!

Matt
