We’ve been watching more t.v. lately. Mostly it’s because we’ve been trying to watch political coverage which is more difficult than you might think since we don’t have cable. It seems that small mid-western local television stations do not feel it important to preempt much of anything EVEN WHEN WISCONSIN IS VOTING!

I used to be a die-hard ABC fan - mostly I just really liked Peter Jennings but since his death I have become a Brian Williams fan. (Why is it that it’s so important to feel like you have some personal connection to the person who reads the news? I digress.) Those of you with more knowledge of the major network prime time schedules already know where I’m going with this. On Tuesday nights, at 8pm (when polls are closing) NBC has a show called the Biggest Loser and I’ve been watching it on primary nights. (Which makes me feel just a tiny bit like a pretty big loser!)

So tomorrow night when Texas and Ohio return are coming in, don’t try and call because I’ll be very busy refreshing my browser to get up to the minute return details and, yes, watching a little t.v. on the side.
