In My Humble Opinion

There has been some good, bad and ugly on television lately. Everyone has opinions about what they like to watch. Here’s my humble opinion:

The Good

American Idol is among “the good” on television. The new judges are fabulous. They have bought new energy back to the show. It seems the talent this year is better than ever. The judges are still tough but honest. They are having fun which makes for us having fun.

The Bad

Chicago Code is among “the bad.” When the commercials for your show turn out to be better than the actual show . . . then important questions must be asked. Am I paying the ad guy enough money? Would better writers save the show? I don’t think so. I watched it for about 15 minutes and I’ll never get back those minutes.

The Ugly

Commercials lately have been among “the ugly.” I’m not sure which phone company it was but there is a commercial where a girl is up in a tree outside her boyfriend’s house. She’s talking about their date by checking on his Twitter, Facebook, etc. Serious stalking issues and totally yucky. Which leads me to mention “Groupon.” Wow. . . they paid lots of money to be seen during the Superbowl and they were totally inappropriate.

My question to you is this – what shows or commercials would you put in “the good,” “the bad,” and “the ugly?”

A Simple Love Story

Tom and I started dating thirty three years ago today. We celebrate it every year.. We grew accustomed to celebrating that day for three years before we got married so it feels natural to continue. It’s nice having “two” anniversaries a year instead of just “one.”

When you’re with the same person that long you speak a special language. You can hear the words before they are spoken. You look in each other’s eyes and time stand still. A simple touch on the hand and your whole body feels it.

Today, we celebrate our simple love story.

I love you more and more each day, Tom. I will remain –

Forever Yours,
Nadine
