I just can appreciate the fact that Alan and I can WATCH ANYTHING together because this man has had to use headphones because of a slight hearing loss. He revved up the tv, and we live in an apartment, and you can HEAR EVERYTHING, so it was either give him a pair of headphones (the audio doctor suggested this by the way), or, if I didn't do that, I would have gone stark raving bonkers with the noise in my living room. My living room is 30 feet long (combination dining room and living room). No carpeting, only ceramic tile. So noise bounces off of EVERYTHING.

But with the headphones, it's all nice and quiet and I don't disturb the two 80 year old people who live directly underneath us.

But I wanted to be able to watch tv WITH him, and not in another room. So I went to Radio Shack, got a headphone splitter, and VOILA!!! There we were last night sitting on the couch, each of us with our own set of in-line volume headphones, not disturbing anyone.

Of course the headphones also block out other sound, so if Alan is talking to me during the show and saying "wow, look at what this guy did", I'm going:

"WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT??".

It's like a comedy show when the two of us watch a show. So far it's been American Idol, Hells Kitchen, and now Do You Think You Can Dance.

Oh, we also watch 5th Grader, and Lyrics. and to hear Alan singing along with the singers on Don't forget the Lyrics, well. You haven't lived until you've heard this man sing.

If you want to hear him singing AMEN (like Sidney Poitier), from Lillies of the Field", just go to youtube and type in AMEN.

He's up there singing his little heart out.

As he gets older, he gets funnier.

Oh, I cannot wait until next week for this Dancing Show. I wish it was on 3 times a week (like they used to do with Peyton Place, over 4 years ago.
