As in many homes on New Year's Day, my wife and I faced
the annual conflict of which was more important - the
football games on television, or the dinner itself. To
keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest of the family, and
even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner conversation
before retiring to the family room to turn on the game.
Several minutes later, my wife came downstairs and
graciously even bought a cold drink for me. She
smiled, kissed me on the cheek and asked what the score
was. I told her it was the end of the third quarter and
that the score was still nothing to nothing.
"See?" she said, continuing to smile, "You didn't miss a
thing."
