TV Free



Lee and I have noticed over the past year as our work seemed to take on a life of its own, that we watched less and less TV. Now, to be sure, I only watched the news anyway. Really.  He watched news, assorted sports and Breaking Bad.

But, the news started bugging me. I felt like, first, what I was doing when I stopped doing it was more interesting than the news. So, that habit stopped some time last fall. Whenever  I did catch a piece of it, it seemed kind of stupid. I felt like the news people were almost condescending but frosted with a gooey niceness. I felt so cynical about it.

But, alas....the NFL. Lee has watched football since he was a kid so he had to have the NFL. Last Sunday, he watched the Super Bowl of course. I popped in to check out Eli Manning and Tom Brady a few times.

Then on Monday, he asked me...Should we cancel our cable - no tv? NO TV?

It didn't take me a minute to answer.

"God, yes."

He made the call.

As of today. we are TV free!

At least until September when football starts all over again....

  1. Congratulations! Gary, Phoebe and I "gave up TV" 23 years ago now. Haven't missed it one bit. I still remember Phoebe (14 years old) running down the stairs a few weeks after the TV went blank, with a gleam in her eye, to tell us how excited she was about all the fun and creative things she was doing with her time.
