Tune In and Turn Off

I decided I wasn't going to watch CNN unless there was a good reason to do so (and so far there hasn't been), so as an alternative I turned it to CSPAN (yeah, I know).

The guest was Anne Coulter and she was talking about her latest book, at least that's what I gathered from the few seconds it was on while I fumbled to get the channel changed as fast as I could.

So I turned it off. There was a time when leaving the TV off would have been hard, and I never imagined I'd go days with it off as I sometimes do now. It was on day and night when I was growing up and it was simply part of things. However, I can't claim any success as I'm now more attached to my computer and internet connection than I ever was to the TV.
