Remoteness



Today the weather was beautiful and sunny. Everyone had a wonderful experience: the day bursted with good tidings. Mostly, because of the newest member of our family. The new television.

My husband and son could not go a week without viewing favorite shows and gazing into the vast wasteland known as "prime time".

Before I go any further, I would like to introduce you to the many television butlers or remotes we own. There is Harry the mild, only to be used with the VCR, Sherry the melodious - only for assistance with the sound system, then Fred, used daily a hardworking guy - mostly earning peanuts for working night and day. Then there is Florence, forlorned by the fact we have no idea who or what she belongs to and the HUGO the Large, born from a nagging husband who always spews words of my loosing the remote, a large selector given as a gift can never be lost. One or two have no name, mostly because they've been around so long and all they do is sleep.

My point is, selection devices, while creating ease, can become new members of your family!

To catch everyone up

So tonight Im going to try to catch everyone up. I am single, the mother of a high school graduate and getting closer to 60 everyday. Life...
