Nearly commercial free

This time of year I'm so sick of commercials I just want to shut it all off.  It is because of football.  But I'm not watching as much this year so it is not quite as bad.  Most of the rest of the year I can just forward through them but football sends me enough updates I know the score if I delay the game.  Or my son sends me a text.  So I end up watching in real time.  I'm not going to buy a truck.  Or a diamond ring. Or Captain Morgan (really???).  I've got a phone and far as I can tell all the telcoms suck at about the same level so, no to that.  And nearly anything else they are spending huge amounts pushing at me.  Oh, and I'm not gambling.  Even 'responsibly'.

Whew.  I feel better.

The Patriots are losing, which is unusual even without what's his name as QB.  Oh, yeah, they are losing too.

We've been watching Game of Thrones second time through.  It is a commitment but is so well made with amazing sets, actors, costumes and blood and a story line that kind of makes sense this time.  Now I know who's who in the zoo.  We've been binging it and are approaching the last season.  No idea what we'll do then.  

Other than that it has been a very, very quiet season.  Too damn many people out on my walk but they will go back to work/school soon enough I guess and I'll still be there walking.
