The biggest issue in my marriage, by far, is my husband?s lack of respect ? nay, his disdain ? for my favorite TV shows. In ?real life,? I?m a firm believer in science and measurements. In TV life, I?m up for any show that involves aliens (ancient or otherwise), Bigfoot, or ghosts. Bonus points if the show contends Bigfoot actually is an alien.

?How can you watch this crap?? he?ll ask me, genuinely confused. I just shrug. But that doesn?t mean I haven?t thought about it. I think it has to do with wanting to believe there?s still some magic left in the world.
