When I used to work for a living and had to go out into the
cruel, cruel world, I would get dressed in the morning and head downstairs for
my coffee and watch the news. That would start my day, watching the news and
reading the newspaper as I did so. I would be interested in what the sports news
and the business world were reporting, the two big items in the paper and the
local and world news on the TV.
If I weren’t taking a train, I’d drive with the radio on for
entertainment to kill the hour or so until I got to the office, listening to
the likes of: ‘Imus in the Morning’ or a sports show where I could yell at the
radio at some boneheaded idea.
I think he died but forgot to lie down! |
This morning I noticed that we have the news on the TV
going, and newspapers, (2) scattered on the coffee table, but the laptop
computer or I-pad is in use! My culture is changing: the way we get our
information is changing and is now more immediate. You all know the benefits of
having a computer available to you, so you can understand how better informed
we all are.
So really, what do I need with TV and the newspapers?
More than worthy of TV! La Principessa! |
Aside from my attempt at Facetime on the TV through my I-pad
with La Principessa Darby Shea, who needs TV? Newspapers? I don’t send
expensive Waterford glasses through the mail at all, so I don’t need newspapers
to wrap them.
So what happens when my newspapers are not delivered on
time? I get on that phone and call those @#$%^%# and give them a piece of my
mind, or what’s left of it. Suddenly my day seems empty, my sense of security
is gone like my weekly allowance! No reception for my TV!!!! Well, those poor
bastards at Cablevision will be getting a call from DelBloggolo for sure. Actually
Cablevision has been terrific: they never screw up.
I guess I’m a creature of habit after all: my sisters would
say just a ‘creature.”
