Revisiting his youth

“You won’t believe my old lady. She lets me listen to Zeppelin and play video games.” — Rockford

Rockford hooked up his record player and the Wii at the new apartment this afternoon. As I type this, my dear husband is listening to “Stairway to Heaven” and playing Metroid.

That saying about the way to a man’s heart being through his stomach? Not entirely accurate with my fella. The path to Rockford’s heart tunnels goes directly through the nerdery.
