Last night I ended a 40 day fast. During the fast I lost no weight. I think this is probably something close to a Lenten fast, but I've been fasting from television. To some people, that would be no big deal. For others it would be like taking a break from oxygen. I'm somewhere in between. I like television . . . mainly because I'm a pop culture freak and I love watching a variety of shows so I can pick them apart and such. Michelle knows all too well that I can't stand local news shows - probably because they're so stinking shallow that it's not very fun to analyze them. I'd swear that 90% of the content comes directly from press releases by PR firms. Weather and sports are just about the only real reporting that goes on. But enough about my little rant there. All in all, I'd have to say that I didn't really miss TV as much as I thought I would. Instead I've been able to read more, work more, think more clearly, and talk to Michelle more. Here's a marriage success secret free of charge . . . conversation is healthy!
Well, gotta run.
Trading Spaces is almost on . . .
