My Worst Fear Comes True

I had seen signs of impending doom. A glitch here and there. Slow start-ups. Overheating and shut-downs occurred more and more frequently.

And then it happened. . .

. . . My Tivo died.

And now I'm forced to watch TV without a Tivo. Like an animal!

For those of you who don't own Tivos, words cannot express how it feels to be Tivo-less. For those of you who own Tivos, you know what I'm going through!
You know!

I can't even begin to watch T.V. without a Tivo. I just can't do it.

Several years ago when Tivo first came out, I bought one and was hooked.

That was a first-generation Tivo and it died about three months after the warranty expired (of course).

I went to Best Buy that night and bought a replacement. Once you have Tivo, you just can't go without it.

I was about to run down to Best Buy and get a new one. But look at this. I'm not watching TV. I'm writing! And I just got through practicing on the piano, too.

I might even (gasp!) go work out now that I have no TV to watch. This situation might even be a good thing.

Daren't I try going awhile without television???

    You've already bought the new one, haven't you?

  2. Hey, giving up TV in the summer is like not drinking because you're having surgery.

    Youo'll have a TiVo by fall. Trust.

  3. JP - Very clever. Actually, I haven't bought a new Tivo yet because it's too hot to go to Best Buy. I don't "do" heat.

  4. Oh, and I didn't work out either.
