Television

[talyen]

As many of you know, I love to watch hockey. I love to watch the Red Wings, but have been known to watch other teams, especially the Leafs, during the winter.

But I don't have "television." I haven't had cable in over a year. I stopped watching it when the Red Wings exited the playoffs in 2004. The only thing I've ever cared about other than hockey was The West Wing, and ... I survived on tapes from Catherine. My neighbors all watch it. I can get it somehow, or do without.

But it's hockey season again. And there's going to be NHL hockey this year. So, I'm considering using a goodly portion of my annual raise to pay for cable, for the next 6 months, so I can watch the Red Wings. (There is a special, and I'll take advantage of it, but still...)

Is this crazy? Should I be saving the money for more important things, things like gasoline and savings?

Check your bunny ears reception first.


My friend Leo gets 5 or 6 channels with his here in Sarnia.

The Red Wings are being televised by a cable-only channel.

They are also radio-broadcast, but it's not the same.

I think this is what sports bars are for. Find some more hockey loving dykes and take over a bar on game nights.

Depending on one's behavior at bars, this may or may not be cheaper than cable! :)

Go to a sports bar. Or create a women's hockey-watching club and meet at other people's houses. No need for cable. You have no time, woman!
