Catching up...
After 10 years we have jumped back into the digital universe. In 1997 we
became a cable free home and for the girls living without cable was the
norm. They would have their cable fixes at the sitter's or the
relatives. We survived on rabbit ear channels, which wasn't as bad as
one might think. Sure some of the channels were a little fuzzy. But I
always said, it only takes me the time to go through 10 channels to
decide there is nothing good on, as opposed to 200 channels. We have
subscribed to Bell ExpressVu and have more channels than we know what to
do with. Part of the reason for the lengthy delay on the blog updates
goes to watching tv. Now the girls don't have to mumble or pretend when
their friends say "Did you see that on tv last night...". I always
remember asking Gillian one day when she was in Grade 3 or 4, "what do
your friends say when you tell them you don't have cable?" Her response
was "Dad, I don't tell them!"
