One big illness, and you'd better learn to like tv. I got sore fingers from playing keys, and I still can't blow very well, my neck is like a petrified tree trunk from radiation, and many days I have to write down a score and decide if I should be behind the wheel of the car. But TV has become a refuge. We talked about ditching the cable, and there are only 4 HDTV over air things here, but I just am not ready for that.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of tv. But with a good sense of humour and lots of channels heck, even the Discovery Channel and the Nature stuff is great.

Documentary channels, Swamp people, direct from the bayou, American loggers what a laugh.

I have books, music, CD's Dvd's music gear, and I still end up doing 3 hours a day of TV.

And to think the only thing I saw for decades was hockey night in Canada, some Canuck football games and the odd Jays game.

I think I missed the pawn shop shows in the 60's. LOL

I sat in the same chair, all day, 8 hours a day, hooked to a feeding machine, at home. What else was there to do?
