So sorry I was not able to write yesterday as I was still too enthralled watching the Monday Night Football countdown clock on ESPN.
See, on Sunday night I figured I would catch up with all the happenings in the NFL on NFL Blitz, ESPN’s new version of NFL Primetime. The show features highlights and “analysis” from all of Sunday’s games. While I was catching up on all the information, a clock popped up in the corner with a countdown to Monday Night Football.
“Wow!” I said out loud. “I didn’t even know that ESPN had Monday Night Football, I could have sworn that I’ve een watching it on ABC for the last three weeks. It sure is great that there is a clock here letting me know that there is exactly 18 hours, 42 minutes and 12, 11, 10 seconds till the big game!”

I don’t have digital cable or satellite I just have regular cable television. I don’t have the On Demand feature, no Tivo, no program guide. I once did, in college, and I loved my remote and my digie (digital cable). Now I have channels 1 through 99 and most of those channels are cable access. Someday I will have digital cable and that fantastic remote. Which brings me to the point of these last hundred words: My remote.

I flipped through the channels last night all through Primetime looking for something to watch other than the Cubs game. It is supposed to be the new fall season with all types of great new television on, and all I found was crap. Possibly my standards are too high. Maybe I am not allowing myself to buy into a new show. Maybe all the stuff that is on television these days is the same stuff that has been on for the last 10
years.

I had something a little earlier on why Sean Hannity is a douchebag and it was good but I just deleted it because I am not here to manufacture any more hate. I saw a little bit of Dancing with the Stars last night; that show is terrible. That is honest so it is not manufacturing hate. So therefore, I have just realized, I can write about how Sean Hannity is a douche bag! Great!

A little Animal Planet can go a long way, especially when there is nothing else on. Every time there is a whole bunch of nothing on the television set I flip through all the channels on an endless search for something to occupy my time. Typically, I find the usual nonsense on Fox News, some CSI-type show on Discovery, and the regular C-SPAN stuff that is truly a bore. Then there is a flickering light, this little light o’ mine, this thing called Animal Planet.

I am not going to lie; I did watch television last night. I want to write about what I watched last night. But I had a little mishap involving a knife last night, so I am operating with a bit of a handicap this morning, typing a little slower than usual. I would like to explain, because this was not a cooking accident, nor a hunting accident. It was a MacGyver accident.
