TV isn't all bad, and wasn't back "yonder" in years past - I watched maybe 3
programs a morning on Sat and then one after school, occasionally 2 -
usually 3 Stooges. You have to have some variation or not having some
outside entertainment like TV or radio gets as boring as too much - you
might as well cut the power and drive a horse drawn black buggy.
Watch maybe one movie a week, at home - haven't been to a theater in
probably 25 yrs except to do repairs at a few. Same with churches and
hospitals - always in them doing repair work, not a customer/client.
