A tad bit remiss...

Yes, it's been over a month since I posted to this blog. Sorry. We still don't have cable. October 1st came and went without a hiccup. No twitching, no urges to call the cable company.

But we have noticed that we're really, really missing watching college football. Sports in general, really. We wish there was a kind of television where you could subscribe only to certain channels. We'd get the networks and ESPN. We are big Cal fans and when they were in contention for the #1 spot (long, long ago...so sad...), we wanted to watch the game so we dragged both kids down to our local pub with sattelite TV and a big screen. They had some stupid DirectTV thing that didn't actually have the channel we wanted. So we had two cranky children in a restaurant at 4PM and we sat there eating a ridiculously early dinner, all annoyed because we knew this very exciting games was happening only miles away and we were stuck in this bar with no access to the game. Would've liked to just sit at home, turn on the game, let the kids play while we watched.

So, there have been a few moments that we've really missed having television. And we've been tempted a few times to reconnect. But, as my husband says, we just don't have enough self-discipline.

But, interestingly, what is happening now is that we're spending almost all of our evenings on our laptops. Computers are like the new TV. In fact, I should sign off right now and play with my kids instead of writing this.

So, does anyone know of a service that will allow us to just order a few channels? Like only about 5? (Instead of 500?) If so, add a comment and we'll check it out.
