Falling off the wagon - sort-of
A few weeks ago I “gave up TV”. Now I will confess that I have not been totally “TV-free”. I tried reading news on-line and getting weather the same way. To some extent it worked but not well enough. My solution has been to seek out streaming media.
So I have settled into a pretty comfortable routine. I catch ABC News NOW for about 20-30 minutes in the morning. I multitask this time with reading blogs. I also surf on over to the local FOX TV website for local weather. In the evening, I get the NBC Nightly News from a broadcast feed streamed from Austin Texas. There are a number of movies now out on DVD I’ve never gotten around to watching so I try to keep one or two of those around for “rainy day-nights”. I have also found some of the ABC and NBC lineup are streamed from their sites. I may resort to those for the one or two shows I really want to follow (like Heroes). Unfortunately, favorites like Eureka and others will become a distant memory or a “special treat” when traveling. But that’s OK, I already find I am getting more stuff done without the TV <grin>. And, the new Harry Potter book is nearly here so that will kill off three or four nights !
