Parable

I used to sell my TV every time I moved…

Seriously…  every single time I moved for the first several decades of my life, if I owned a TV, I would sell it or give it away when I was moving.  Then I would live the first six months in my new place without a TV.

I used to go on a 30-day TV fast every six months.  Every April and every October I would unplug the television, put away the remotes and… 

…and find something else to do with my time.  The first time I did it I thought it was going to be this huge challenge so I put all the remotes in a box and wrapped the box in duct tape… turns out the first time was easy… the second time was a killer and the third time was even worse. 

Since I didn’t have cable, the only TV I could watch were those channels that could be picked up with an antennae.   Around the time when I was getting used to doing to taking these TV-fasts all the TV channels went digital and I ended up being unable to watch TV at all…

…then I discovered Netflix.

…I keep thinking I should get around to trying a Netflix fast –

…right after I’m done watching this series.
