Sadly, was in the middle of grocery shopping when realized was missing second-favorite reality program. So-You-Want-To-Be-Humiliated-by-a-British-Prick was on and there was nothing to be done about it.
H: J! We're missing American Idol!
J: I think I'll survive. How about you?
H: *gasp* You're dead to me. (Ignoring strange looks from cashier) I need to get Tivo.
J: That's expensive. Besides, you don't even have cable.
H: So?? Fine. Cable first, then Tivo.
J: You're a nut.
En route to raid local grocery store of entire selection of snack foods (in preparation for ski weekend), was recipient of yet another moment of clarity and sincerity. Was told by J, that as a female, in regards to all-around stability and goodness, yours truly ranks at v. top of the list. Right after his mother. Which, knowing how much this man truly loves his mother, was quite the compliment. Did not know quite what to say, so quietly thanked him.
J: You know I'd do just about anything for you. You know that, right?
H: Yes, I do.
J: Good.
