Day 196 Honoring My Husband With Technology

The computer, the new man's or
woman's best friend.

Ladies it is that time of year again, football season.  If your husband is anything like mine this is the time to block off the times of the home games on the calendar as the "No Talking" time.  Or the time of year where I can get other things done because he will be occupied in front of the TV.  Although I am a big sports fan relatively speaking, I think on a scale of 1 - 10 I am about a 7 with professional football and a 5 with professional basketball, yet I know I do not come close to my husband's 10 squared in both arenas.  I have even considered joining the Baltimore Ravens wives' club but I feel a little guilty given my original favorite team is the New York Giants.

One of my favorite movies is Any Given Sunday, it was the film that changed how I felt about football. I loved the action, drama, intensity and the character's portrayal.   I was able to get a glimpse of the behavior before, after and during the game which kept me engaged.  Since that time, I was hooked. 

Today I am honoring my husband with technology.  I was working at my second office today, Panera Bread, when Bryan called and asked if I could tape the Baltimore Ravens game.  I explained to him that I was not home, however I could use my best friend (he calls my computer my best friend) to activate the DVR to tape it.  He was ecstatic.  It felt really good to hear his sigh of relief to know that he would get to see the full game. 

Wives of the world how do you or can you honor your husband with technology?  Do you tape his favorite shows or sports when he will be home late?  This is how Bryan actually got the idea.  Last year when the season started and I knew he was rushing home I taped the game and he was beside himself with excitement.  What  is so interesting is that I purchased the DVR several years ago so that I could tape the Oprah show while I was traveling.  Now that Oprah has said goodbye to daytime TV, I was thinking the DVR was not serving us much purpose and then comes along football season.  Ladies how can you honor your husband using technology?  Whether it is your snazzy iPhone, droid, DVR, or HDTV skills, in what way can you make his life a little more pleasurable with technology?  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
