i'm NOT ALONE!
normally i try to steer clear of sitcoms (i save myself for WB dramas, and the Best Show on Television), but inbetween innings last night, i flipped over to "Everybody Loves Raymond."

i'm not sure of the entire plot, but he was arguing with his wife about her exboyfriends and the gifts and letters she had received from them. it turns out that she had a bunch of gifts from former "luvvahs" scattered around the house, unbeknownst to raymond.

you'll die. their PEPPER MILL was a former boyfriend's gift to his wife. he proceeded to make comments about it being the pepper mill he USES EVERY DAY ON HIS FOOD.

i flip back to baseball for a while, and when i return to Raymond 15 minutes later, he's sitting at the dining room table staring at the pepper mill.




but really, erik. it doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you.
