We are one of the legion of people who have cable TV. Our reception is so bad that we wouldn’t bother to turn the TV on if we didn’t have cable or dish reception.
About two weeks ago, DH turned the TV on and discovered there was absolutely no picture. We had a fuzzy gray screen and noisey static. So, he called to report that we were having a problem.

Friday Five
The Friday Five
(shuddering at the subject matter!)
1. Do you watch sports? If so, which ones?
Not if I can help it. When I am in the office I listen to the CUBS play baseball (on the radio.)
2. What/who are your favorite sports teams and/or favorite athletes? Chicago teams. I support our perennial loosers, and now it seems I might have a chance to support a winner. (The Cubs)
3. Are there any sports you hate?
Boxing, bike and motor cross, wrestling
4. Have you ever been to a sports event.
Yes I went to football games in college, and I’ve been to see the Cubs once.
5. Do/did you play any sports (in school or other)? How long did you play?
Only those required in P.E.
Wages
Have you ever thought about how we decide what a job is worth? To me, a buck a shirt at the cleaners is well worth not having to wash and iron shirts, and I’m at the stage in my life where I’d rather pay someone to wash the high windows and clean out the gutters.
“The Girls” on WGN were talking about how we set salaries. They felt that we should consider the following guidelines: If you love your job you get pennies to do it. If you have a dreadful job, you get $6,000,000 for it.
