NO TV ALLOWED

You are totally bored.

 

I know this to be true because you’re here, despite your access to the Internet and cable TV. You, my friend (can you see McCain?), are reeeeally bored.

 

Most of you know Greg and I don’t subscribe to television. Not even local channels with rabbit ears (those still around?). We have a flat-screen TV mounted over the fireplace in our living room, but it’s only good for videos. We watch a movie or an episode of a taped TV series two or three times a week.

 

For more timely things that TV-watchers enjoy, we use our laptops. Almost anything you see on your TV is available soon after on our laptops. We’re cheap. (I also buy day-old bakery, but I’d prefer you didn’t mention it to Greg.)

 

One of the best features of having no TV is that the rest of you channel surf and dig through the rubble for us. We just sit around and read, waiting for someone to mention what we’re missing. We rely heavily on the recommendations of friends.

 

So why did it take so long for you people to tell me about Rachel Maddow, Moral Orel, and Anthony Bourdain? (And when is someone going to tell Greg that central air is available to the middle class?)

 

Orel, Rachel and Anthony are all recent additions to my small world thanks to caring friends. (Still no AC.)

And I hope you all saw Jon Stewart beat up on Cramer last week. That was great fun.
