Well its sort of your own backyard kind of story, when your backyard is America that is. Our president recently kept his word and took his wife out on the town, to dinner and a broadway show. He promised that he would after the campaign was over. He kept his word. They took in a soccer game with the kids, then flew from Washnington to New York for "Date Night". Just because you can't take a weeks vacation to spend time together, doesn't mean that you should put it off. Date Night is a golden opportunity to remind that someone special, that they are special. We may not have the responsibilities of a President or the visibility for that matter, but our little lives carry big weight with the people that we do it all for. Dinner and a movie, miniture golf, picnic in the park, a long slow walk eating an ice cream cone, whatever you choose, don't stop doing it.  No matter what the economy does over the next few years, life will go on and eventually for all of us it will end. I will not waste a day on worry about next year. Find those things that make you smile and take a break doing them, in Your own Backyard. Alright guys, those who can afford to make it happen,  feel free to take a few pointers from your President.  That's so romantic.
