Well, the big snow storm over this past weekend pushed us to the limit. Our cable went out. After the initial shock, the family banded together and came up with a strategy to avoid any further interaction. We rejcted family game night, or listening to music and opted for "to each his own." We each went to an individual computer and immersed ourselves in the internet. Email, websites and streaming TV served admirably as a replacement for regular TV.
It wasn't easy but we made it through, and we did it as a family. A family of people all dedicated to th same ideal - totally ignoring each other.
Now, 4 days later, as we share the war stories of the "16 hours without the remote" as we will someday like to call it, we have lost electricity. This means, of course, no television. We decided to eat all of our ice cream and drive to some friends' house to use their cable.
