I told him last night - I KNOW you, just as you know ME well. You like quiet evenings (yes we DO talk and so on but you know we don't have lots of noise round us all the time) and you like to be able to watch football not have some kid begging you to turn on cartoon network.
Fully understood on all fronts -- except in our household, it is my wife who has the TV warmed up for the Tigers, the Lions, U of M football, the US Open. I have a preference for the Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, Science Channel... things of that nature. That is why no kids will ever be in our house.
