Subject: RE: TAN #178: If TANning were an Olympic sport ...We just signed up for satellite Internet and TV at our lake place. I am ambivalent. I have missed things I would have watched if we had TV but I have always sort of liked the enforced disconnection from world that the lake house gave me. We are getting it for the friends that our kids invite to come in for weekend visits. They suffer withdrawal, particularly Internet withdrawal, when they visit. They drive 10 miles each way to the public library to check their email and whatever. J wants them to continue coming back so we have to have all the comforts of home. We are getting it for them but it will be there all the time. I know I could just not turn it on but that probably won't happen. I am pretty weak about resisting the temptation. Oh well, turn the page. I am showing my age bias. Do ever want to get away from TV and Internet? Or is it just a geezer thing? |
