    My life doesn’t revolve around the television.  I don’t watch any terrestrial broadcasts.  I am especially uninterested in “prime”-time offerings (e.g. soaps). Ugh.  Instead…

    This week 

    It’s a sea-change.  Day off planned, plus lots of stuff happening outside of work mean I’m taking a break from planning anything at all.  A number of loose ends to tie up and various new ideas to ponder mean I’ll still be busy thinking all week.  🙂
