Is
unbelievable how quickly Thursday rolls around there for a week!Today
is packed, I have appointments all through the day however they are
evenly space I should not have a problem with making them. Of course
it's Thursday which means it's the coffee group at 9:30 AM at 12 noon
I have A T Council, then later on at 4 PM I have bookclub. A T
Council should not go beyond 2 o'clock at 230 which would make right
the time I would need to get down to South Jordan library for
bookclub.
I'm
so pleased I was able to get the chair running again yesterday
morning. Looking over my schedule for today it doesn't really look
like a lot but it is when you consider having to make all of these
meetings in a power chair using public transit. I'm actually writing
this in the morning before my coffee group just so I'll have it
finished by this evening so I can enjoy some of the new Thursday
programming on the channel that I watch. Again I know that sounds
quaint but it's true I just love the new television season. Maybe
it's because the old days the new season was spectacular sometimes it
would last two weeks it seemed like. The beginning of new shows the
networks would be running. Completely new thought processes
science-fiction I can hardly wait. They would start advertising early
in the summer about the new season starts showing snippets and
previews of oncoming venues for the fall. It was interesting to see
television progress from not only new programming they actually went
through that whole “Movie of the week” then they had a movie of
the specific day like “Monday night at the movies” “Sunday
night movies” and even “Saturday night at the movies”. There is
even a moment when, if I remember correctly, there is a movie for
every night of the week shared between the different networks. Even
our home, come the new fall schedule by 7 PM dinner would be
finished, the cows milked, the equipment washed and dishes put away
in the whole family coming together like the opening of the Simpsons
cartoon, on the couch. Actually the kid to be on the floor lying
prone with the heads propped up on their hands lovingly gazing at the
blue warm screen promising and evenings delight. Dad would already be
dozing, mom would I started her iron-rite, iron or with spray bottle
in hand feeding the family is close into the hot padded drum getting
ready for the following Sunday.
It's
altogether different now in this age of Streaming, video discs, and
small many seasons splattered throughout the year. The one major fall
kickoff season like they used to have no longer exists just kind of
sad but in this new world, brave New World where you get anything
usually the second that you want if you want it bad enough to pay for
it one way or the other. The let loose whole seasons at one shot
where you can binge away the whole weekend for 20 or more 48 minute
episodes! It really is truly amazing. Still however I look forward to
that time when the sun goes down earlier and dinner is finished and I
turned my attention to the warm blue glow emitting from my flatscreen
sitting above my work desk and remembering wonderful new moments with
a peacock spreading its multicolored tailfeathers as if a blessing
over the new television season enjoy everyone the networks new
offering…
