Especially if your wife isn't nearly as smoking as Megan Mullally.

To add a similar question, what do you want to do once Community ends?

The history of power structures is as long a thread as the history of civilization. They change with the times, but that's entirely external. Their nature remains the same.

I'm weighing in here since he may or may not have time to address all follow-ups. When you want to learn something yourself, the best way to go about it is to be ready to invest a little money and a lot of time. There are many free resources on the Internet, but a book on beginners' astronomy (even a textbook) is probably the best first investment. You can lounge in a comfortable chair and read it, put it down and think about what you've been reading, and pick it up again. If you really get into it, you can do exercises in the book to reinforce what you learn. The key here is still going to be a time investment.

I think it's a mistake to get started by investing in a personal telescope. I reason that if you can't dedicate your time to a book and your own thoughts, buying a telescope is a more expensive way to later showcase that you thought you might have time for it at one point in your life.

A book can teach you the basics- such as the math behind planetary motion or optics- and there is plenty of free software now that let's you explore the night sky by proxy at anytime of day. One of the more basic and easy to use is Stellarium, which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux for free.

The textbook I used in college for a basic course to fulfill science credits was called Astronomy Today. It's on its seventh edition now, but you can get the fifth edition for as low as $3 used on Amazon. I'd send you mine, but I'm keeping it.
