I have become a connoisseur of infomercials.

Those of us who don’t sleep well know about a world of entertainment that those who do sleep well don’t. Infomercials.

The vast wasteland of middle-of-the-night TV is laden with products you didn’t know you needed.

And, just like TV shows, infomercials have a regular season. Infomercial season begins around Thanksgiving, peaks prior to Christmas, and continues through January.

This simple, yet telling observation is one of a handful of ways you can find that special someone who is right for you.

You know you’ve been married a long time when getting a major appliance is the highlight of the week for both of you.

With the joy of a new dishwasher also came a little sadness. The old one had to go.
