on what to watch

Dave and I have our differences.

There was a time about 6 years ago that we were counting our differences because we were oh, so much alike back in our dating year month.

Of course, over the years we've noticed a few more things that we don't quite see eye to eye on. I guess we don't ever see eye to eye unless I'm standing on a step stool, and even then I think he has a few inches on me. I'm sure I could draw a bunch on analogies on how our height difference can be a metaphor for marriage, but that's not where I was going with this.

There are some things that after all these years, we are still absolutely compatible.

1. Money. We are always on the same page.

2. Entertainment. Do you realize how awesome this is? We went through a 24 obsession, a Star Trek: the Original Series fling, NCIS marathons, and now Psych. We both like Nacho Libre-esque comedies, and we both hate horror movies. We like classic Jimmy Stewart movies and The Bourne series and college football. And with the occasional exception of some weirdo TV show that intrigues him and I have no interest in, we usually agree on what channel the TV is on in the evenings.

I like this. I would not have pegged Entertainment as a deal-breaker back when I was checking guys out, but man, I am glad we have that in common. It makes marriage happy.
