Well, this old girl watches NO TV. Haven't since 1983 when one week while trying to catch a middle episode of "Brideshead Revisited" on Masterpiece Theatre, I discovered that it was a lost cause -- no matter how many times it played during the week, I just couldn't schedule seeing it. So I said, "F#@k it," and stopped trying to watch anything. We live in the middle of the woods and it was pre-cable and we could only get 2 stations anyway. So we (my male-type partner, Curmudgeon, and me) watch videotapes instead. (Since we're movie freaks.) We can turn them on and off at will. And we read a lot.

I drink more beer than I eat chocolate, too. (And -- is this heresy? -- I actually prefer several types of other sweets to chocolate.)

And neither 'Mudge nor I "do" spectator sports -- and Tom shys away from car crash and explosion flicks. (Well, so do I.)

So . . . wanna make something of it?
