New pattern: my mother is glued to both the news and The Weather Channel each morning, for hours, the winter road reports in particular whether or not any of us will be on said roads. Of course if there's an accident, anywhere, in the world, we must express shock and dismay (we do live in a culture of accident porn with our immediate all-reporting media)
I often worry that I watch too much TV but I know that my mother watches too much TV.
Maybe it's 'too much' in my humble opinion, oftentimes there is little else to do at this age when saddled with significant mobility issues. She loves to read but can't do that 24-7.
All that said, do we really have to suffer through a daily double header of The Littlest Hobo?
At 9am! Some of you, of my vintage, will recall this dreadful Canadian TV series that ran late
70s to mid 80s. I'm a huge dog lover, I have one, yet I detest this show....and now I'm listening to it every morning....at this very moment in fact.
