THERE'S A DOWNSIDE, AS WELL AS AN UPSIDE, TO THE WIFE GETTING ADDICTED TO SPORTS ON TV... (SELF-REFERENCE ALERT):

...on the one hand, there's nothing not to like about a Mrs. who would rather discuss why the Bruins can't score than what The Daughter is learning in her puberty science unit at school, but, on the other, they have revealed to them an entirely new world of advertising, containing many of the great secrets of the male. Thus, The Wife pulled one of the most profoundly under-handed manuevers in the history of marriage last night, admonishing me that going behind her back to have a KFC Double Down--which The Boy and I have already been strictly forbidden ever to eat--would be "the moral equivalent of adultery."
