How to Survive Watching TV With Your Significant Other

Every once in a while Amanda and I get to watch a few TV shows at night. The kids are in bed and we get to treasure an hour or two together. Although we appreciate the time together, we struggle finding the common show we both can agree to watch. I, being a sports/history guy and Amanda enjoys a good Friends or Grey's Anatomy. Being the comprising husband that I am, I will try to enjoy Amanda's shows with her...I say this tongue in cheek. I am horrible at watching Amanda's shows with her.

Recently during one of our relaxing nights together I had an epiphany...I rarely use the word "epiphany" in my everyday language, but I just finished a graduate course of very educated authors writing in a very complicated way and feel the need to pass the pain onto you. So back to the epiphany. We were watching Friends and a commercial came up. My Atlanta Braves were riding a 12 game winning streak and I wanted to check to see if they pulled off number 13. I changed the channel to ESPN and the bottom ticker brought me great joy when I saw the Braves won....then it hit me. Why not have a sport ticker at the bottom of Friends!!!! You heard me men. This is the best of both worlds. How do I get this idea to the corporate heads? More importantly, can I profit from this idea?

This is probably as far as I will go. Feel free to take this the next step. Moral of the story...men and women can work together, we just need to get creative.

God bless and thanks for reading
