Coming to you live from 5 years behind the tech curve

When I ordered HDTV from my cable company, they mistakenly installed a DVR box instead, which I discovered when I received a letter noting that they were going to start charging me the higher fee for that box. I phoned them, they found they made a mistake, and offered to let me keep it at the HDTV price. OK, I said, but I don't record shows.

I do now.

So easy to set up. I recorded a Dr Who ep on Sunday, and tonight I'll be recording the NOVA Music and the Brain episode while I watch Rachel Maddow.

Nice.

Entering July tomorrow. It's been varying grades of horrible for the last couple of years--lost Mom in 2007, and Mickey last year. The fact that it's my birthday month has been lost. I don't even care.

I hope this July is uneventful.
