It’s the weekend finally my good people. Whatever you are doing I hope it’s all good and fun, or something like that. After a very interesting week I am glad to be chilling out at home. This morning I made pancakes and sausage and I have consumed two cups of coffee. I also slept in later than normal which was good. At the moment my dog is curled up next to me in the seat normally occupied by his mommy. Right at this moment life is good and I hope it’s good for all of you my friends.
Feeling Emotions
Emotions are a blessing and a curse. Feeling stuff makes us human and that can be awesome but it also can suck when it’s stuff we have to cope with. People are trying to get by and that makes it harder. Peace to you my friends in all the things you are going through.
Followed and Friended
In the blogging and social media world I don’t mind being followed. However when someone who is way cooler than me does it that makes me wonder a little. I am just a blogger who chronicles and curates the silly, serious and sacred things in my life and some of the current events of the day. My blog can be a random collection of things from quotes to six-word-stories and that sort of thing.
Some of you are from fabulous places where you have glamorous lives and yet you find something in my little blog that interests you, that’s pretty cool.
To all of you who choose to follow me I appreciate it. Really its nice. Being followed leads to being friended I think.

The Good Old TV And Situation Comedy
I am a child of the 1970’s and 80’s and I grew up on network TV. From WKRP in Cincinnati, Alice, All in The Family, Maude, The Golden Girls, Growing Pains, Night Court, Three’s Company, Maude, Good Times, One Day At A Time and the list goes on and on. Call me old fashioned I am still a fan of watching a TV show on an TV, live and in colour. And as a little kid I watched via an antenna over the air.
Netflix and Hulu as good as it is for binge watching it does not have the same communal feel. There are many moments on live TV that everyone experienced together at the same time.
Back in the day it was about water cooler conversations about what you saw the night before. I do realize TV is changing but it isn’t the same. I am still a fan of watching something as it comes from the source. It is also about anticipation of the next episode and watching it at the same time each week. Yes it used to be appointment TV and for many it still is. My local broadcaster also has a vested interest in my viewing for their revenue from commercials and the like.
This week we have watched some shows we hadn’t seen before and enjoyed them very much. In the world in which we live we need to laugh more, to not take life so seriously and relate to the world through comedic license. So turn on the tube and find something to laugh about.
