One of the first times I quit smoking came about when I realized that cigarettes were my 2nd highest monthly out-lay. (And that was when cigs cost about $2 a pack) Now, the cost of my cable...television and internet....in two locations easily takes second place beating out food and sex toys.

Let me just state without fear of contradiction...DVR will change your life. When the cable doesn't work properly, life is tough.

In Minnesota I have great service...when it works...but I have been subject to technological problems to the extent that I have the 'assistance number' on speed dial. Without boring you any more than I already am, my cable is acting up. It isn't totally out. In fact it isn't even 90% out. It is that pesky 10 percent away from perfection that caused me to send an SOS and tomorrow between 10am - 12noon my rescue will arrive. Until then, I shall pout and eat cookies and milk.....btw....I liked the movie Eagle Eye....even if the critics did not. I was going to go to another movie this afternoon but my cable situation had me too depressed....later...R]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:37:49 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=240#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=240
Today, without planning to, I spent several hours IM'ing with people in Brazil, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada. YaK! YaK! YaK! Talked a lot of politics too...

Joe Biden has been making me laugh for years. Of course it was the hair plugs that started it. If I went bald I would be first in line for hair transplants but if they turned out like something off a landscaping show on DYI, I'd sue. And somehow I just do not believe that Joe hangs out at Home Depot. ("Can you direct me to the Astro Turf?") Gov. Palin talks like someone from Hibbing and somehow I can imagine her picking out kitchen tile at HD.

There is a good chance that Sen. Biden will be the next VP and he can get botox with his executive discount. If he is I promise not to drop any of my liberal friends. "Stand up Chuck!" What a maroon!]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:34:25 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=240#comment http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=240
And...I was a lousy GM also. Perhaps for different reasons. And in defense of Al Knight...he is nowhere near the top of my 'character' top-ten. That's a good idea. At some time, I'll just have to make a Weirdest People I worked With Top Ten.

I think my memory failed me during the Green Bay Story. Maybe I should go back and re-visit it (and make up some stuff)...R]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:14:39 +0000 http://www.robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=240#comment
