The Man Cave
April 16, 2008
Sometimes you wonder are we going forward or backwards in society?
I have a good friend and he has a Man Cave. This is his 1/2 of the garage set aside specifically for him and his projects. It is complete with the beer fridge, couch, air hockey table, TV, a/c when it gets hot and all of his tools.
Some people might say what the heck, how about a living room or game room, but you have to understand this is an area where guys like to hang-out. You don’t have to really be doing any work to appreciate the wall of tools or cool breeze blowing in the open garage door.
It is almost like sitting on the front porch in the old days before they stopped building homes with front porches. My friend knows most of his neighbors and is very welcoming when people pass by. I have enjoyed many an evening working on something or just kicking back in the man cave.
My 6 year-old son is proud to tell people he is a member of the Man Cave. There are even pictures of other Man Caves. http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/04/16/mancave.irpt/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
Even one of the local radio stations here in Phoenix, AZ has a commercial about the ultimate man cave and your chance to win it.
I think there is something to be said about having a man cave.

We joke about the idea of having a Man Cave at our house. Actually, now that I think about it, my husband and son are probably not joking at all.

The best man-cave site I have come across has to be The Mantuary. Do check it out sometime.
