During that same drive home in early November of 2012, after my wife belched so loudly my ears rang, we started talking about ways to improve our house. These improvements will never happen unless one of us wins the German lottery, or I finally launch my career as an internationally renowned foot model. (Seriously, for a dude, my feet are beautiful.) But home improvements are still fun to talk about, so we discussed the idea of adding a second story, building a privacy fence around our yard, or perhaps even adding a front porch.
ME: “I like front porches. You’re still on your own property, but you can see everything and just sit there and relax…”
THE WIFE: “And have a rocket chair!”

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
As much as I like “rocket” chairs …. I get sick in them after a while :(
That double rocking chair looks pretty cool though …

I know. Especially sitting in opposite directions like that. I think one would become dizzy.

True, but this opposite chair actually rocks ;)

Rocket chair…Awesome, yes. Relaxing, no. Let me know if you start selling them though. I’ll take at least one.
