Puzzled

I am puzzled as to whether the TV folks really think they are great, or realize how bad they really are and so constantly tell us how great the shows are. I tuned into the start of the Emmys and after about 3 minutes of boring banter among the reality hosts turned to another channel. I turned back twice more to see if things had gotten better and both times quickly realized they had not, so turned it to another channel for good. I wonder what the ratings for the show were.

I watched Dancing with the Stars premiere last night, and it was dismal. It was almost a caricature of itself. Yipes I may be watching the TCM and Western channel this next year. I planned to watch the opener of Boston Legal, but fell asleep in my chair and awoke to the end scene. It was a jam packed day and the DWTS had lulled me off to dreamland. Bummer. Was it any good? I sure hope so as I would like to have one or two shows to look forward to.

I am headed out to the yard for a full day of trim, rake, prune and weed. I am going out to dinner with a group of friends from church to a restaurant called Sweet Temptations. It sounds like fun. I cannot wait to get my Mastercard bill so I can order the composter. I want the cost to be on next month's bill not this one.

I think your take on the elections is an interesting one. You may well be right. We have not been as bombarded as in past elections. Maybe both canidates are not that interested in Texas, or maybe they are waiting until the last minute to blast us with ads, or maybe neither side can speak Spanish.
