Bumps of Life

This weekend is the 55th reunion of our (Mom and My) high school class. We paid our money. Yes, we are going.
I added “Showtime” to our Cable package on Aug.1. The reason was to get season 3 of “Borgias”. On Aug.2, our Cable network announced that they had not reached a new agreement with CBS which owns Showtime. You guessed it! The Cable network is not offering Showtime until an agreement is reached. No, I am not paying for it.

So far, the Cable network is carrying CBS public TV without an agreement. NBC is already off cable as a result of no agreement.

No fear! I have installed my “old power aided regular antenna” and I get all the public stations clearly. The signal strength is about 90-95%. Ah the games we play. I wouldn’t want to miss any NFL football.

Grandson Dominic finished his summer football conditioning program. His goal was to power lift 400 pounds. He lifted 405. The dilemma was “should he try for 415”. He had to think about it before trying. Common sense prevailed. If you have to think about it “at length”, you probably shouldn’t try it. Good call! Congrats to Dominic. 405? Really?

I have a doctor appointment today. I get to use my Medicare program which everybody hates. No fear. In a few months when Obamacare “kicks in”, all my problems will be solved.

Days are getting shorter!

Love,
Dad
