6:00 Dinner, Chicken or steak on the barbecue or Mexican food are typical meals--regardless of what we're eating, we each have our own food. He gets regular cheese, I get reduced-fat cheese; he gets mayo, I get mustard; he gets real ice cream, I get Dreyer's low-fat cookies and cream.

7:00 If the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers or Angels are playing, we're watching. If not, we may turn on PlayStation 2, which I bring on the road with me. It's great because it can play DVDs as well as games.

9:30 Head to bed.
