Dispatches from New Krypton: Chuck-ing it

Normally, my wife and I are pleasantly exhausted by the end of the day. But last night was a good night: Juan and Manuel were more or less behaving at the dinner table, Lucia was as content as any little princess about to be baptized could be, and I found that my workload had resolved itself to the point that I didn't have to slave over some thing or the other before calling it a night.

It was then when I exercised the authority vested in me as spiritual and moral head of the family.

"Sweety, we're watching Chuck!"

I don't know whether it's Zachary Levi (the actor who plays Chuck) is cut from the same mold as Tina's other favorite leading men (Zach Braff from Scrubs, Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy) or the largely wholesome nerdish good fun of the show, but Chuck's quickly become our go-to tv show of choice lately.

Besides, I'm not horribly impressed with my nemesis, Dr. John "JD" Dorian. What a nerd!
