The wife is a sucker for Idol, So You think You think You can Dance, The Voice, Project Runway, and other such stuff that runs me right out of the room. She records them all to be viewed at leisure and skip the commercials. The DVR is just packed with the stuff. When she chooses to watch in the living room, I usually sit and read and glance at the screen when she chirps “look at this”. It really melts my heart that she is SO happy if I sit with her while that stuff is on. My wife is a brilliant woman, and I sometimes just break into fits of laughter just thinking about all of that mental horsepower parked in front of the flat screen soaking up the drivel.
