Hey Scott! I actually had to post that message twice cause D2 erased it the first time. In the original message, I made a comment to you about the Star Trek convo with H.
I wouldn't call my H a trekker. In fact, I doubt he has watched an episode in at least 10 yrs. Or watched any of the movies. He does like science fiction movies, but then again he likes movies in general. I do not. I don't like to watch television either. Not to make myself sound like I am "above" all that..I just prefer to get my dose of fantasy-escape from books and not moving pictures.
The conversation actually went farther than what I posted, but in the interest of only mildly boring people (as opposed to utterly boring the crud outta them) I only posted the guts of it. He went on to say that I 'rescued' him from a life of being addicted to the boob tube. I said, So if I wasn't around, you'd be a Survivor-watchin fool like your siblings? He said yes absolutely.
Now I could care less if he watches TV or goes to the movies (his 4 siblings go at least once a week which is crazy to me!) but he wants to be with me and I don't care for it. None of which has any relevance at all to anything, except that I started wondering if perhaps he misses just sitting down and veg'ing in front of the tube. So this last week I've been encouraging him to watch a little TV and I will sit with him and read. He seems to really like this! I had a tendency to go take a bath if he wanted to watch a movie b/c they were always John Wayne or Clint Eastwood and the like. The point is that I would rarely stay right next to him while he watched. So I think he gave it up so that he could be with me. I didn't realize that he still enjoyed it...he has never watched much television since we met. But that little Star Trek comment got me thinking and we continued the conversation and I made a mental note to suggest that he watch a little tube and see what happens. It seems to relax him. He is the type who has to be 'asked' to do things that he really wants to do anyway. Isn't that strange? He feels guilty sitting down and taking a load off. Very hyperactive and on the go, all the time.
Anyhoo, this was a long answer to your very good suggestion. I would say that to him about the ST anniversary but I think he'd be quite suspicious about how I came by that information!
Btw, I'm glad to hear that things are settling down for you at work. Didn't you say that you had a busy time of it lately?
