We embrace TV

For decades Jon and I lived without TV.  I think it was decades at least.  Ok, for several of those years we had no TV in the house- and admittedly some of that time was while we were in the Peace Corps where it was hardly feasible.  But for long stretches thereafter we went without, or with only a sad little boxy set that sat dusty in the basement.  But then we remodeled the house, added some comfort to that old basement and bought ourselves what seemed like a gigantic flat screen, but is surely modest compared to what is standard these days.  And we like it.  It has become our habit to retreat to the basement together on weekend evenings when nothing else is going down and relax to a little sitcom, or maybe one of the masterful Sherlock episodes.  Turns out that it's real fun to be transported to another place for a while.  We limit it to just one or two episodes a week, and we keep it in the basement.  But who knows where this will lead....
