Years ago when Dora and I had been married just a few years, we (she) decided that we needed to start having a “date night” each week. We took turns. When it was my choice, we ended up at a Titans game or honky-tonk or whatever. When Dora was making the plan, we checked out a new restaurant or gallery. It was always something interesting.

Recently, Dora mentioned starting it up again. I shocked her by offering to go first, knowing exactly what I’d do. The hotel has this “Do Not Disturb: Romantic Notions Package.” We’ll head out to dinner, and then I’ll tell her I need to stop by the hotel for something. Instead, I’ll take her to the room, where there will be a bottle of wine, chocolate-dipped strawberries, bath salts and an aromatherapy candle waiting. The next morning we’ll get breakfast and a late check-out. I want to see how she’ll top that!
