Football & a Backrub? Somebody Pinch Me

Found: the perfect husband. He does dishes. He makes tight beds. He vacuums and mops, sort of (using cleaning robots). He regularly attacks showers and toilets with latex gloves, bleach, Comet and Pop-Up Wipes. He does it all: cooking included. And, although he wouldn't voluntarily broach the subject, he has watched "You've Got Mail" and "Return to Me" more than once ... FULL STORY


The REAL Story:

  • The Perfect Husband?
    A flawed concept to be sure, but if there is one, methinks it is my man Jon Braun. He truly DOES rub his wife's back during football games. The extent of which (if at all) he is milking his injury is a matter of debate.

  • The Perfect Omelet
    Begins with the perfect non-stick pan: calphalon or one of its cheaper cousins. Pan must be heated thoroughly, greased with REAL butter on medium to medium-high. Add ingredients: 3 whisked grade A extra large eggs mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk, pepper bacon, Romano tomatoes, green onions, fresh basil, salt and sharp cheddar cheese. Important: keep pan moving while cooking. Flip omelet when no longer runny ... folding it like a taco. Recipe compliments of Chi-Town Cuppajo.

  • Most Accidents Happen 5 Miles or Less from Home
    At least that's what carinsurance.com alleges. Jon's happened less than 20 feet from his front door.

  • Wake Up! It's Lunchtime
    Before entering the Naval Academy, Jonno worked the convenience store graveyard shift: 11 PM - 7 AM. After work, he drove home, slept, set the alarm for noon, woke up for his mother's home-cooked lunch, then went back to bed. "What can I say? I like to eat," he said.
