Dan, that's a pretty good comprimise!

I have read that some experts say that TV may have a "hypnotic" effect, so that even if you're not all that interested in what's on, there's a chance you will kep staring at it, zombie-like, anyhow.... It's kind of scary when you think about it that way.

Time is one thing we can't get more of....
