My wife gave me this last year... She printed information for 15 restaurants that we have not been too. She put the pages in a little packet and gave me the packet for Christmas. I got to pick one restaurant each month to go for dinner. All I had to do was give her the page for the restaurant and tell her the dates I was available. She made reservations, she drove, she paid the bill, everything. This gift was awesome all year long and it gave us some much needed time to spend alone. We are doing the same thing this Christmas, except she is doing six months and I'm doing six months. For my six months, I plan to take her someplace we haven't been, not necessarily a restaurant. Maybe go to a new state park and spend the night in the Inn, etc. We are both really looking forward to it!

If any of you try this idea, let me know how it works out! It was great for us!

That's a pretty good idea. I may save that one for Valentine's day. Thanks.

Well I guess my resolution is to get my ass back to the gym. Been paying the monthly fee, I suppose that isn't enough, along with smoking cigars and drinking light beer? Cigars taste real good after a workout. Hey, there's my motivation.
I tried the light beer thing. I wound up drinking more beer. Whiskey is the way to go but I can't give up my beer. We are getting a membership to the gym. I wonder if I can smoke a cigar on the treadmill.

To continue trying to discern more and varied flavors in cigars, even if it makes me cry. I have two favorites: pepper and spice
To try at least one cigar a week that I have never smoked before. Without crying? I likey
To continue to tell my wife, at least once a day, that I love her and would not be the same man without her. This may lead to her not bitchin about the $ you spend on the new cigar every week, good one.
