Where did the time go?

Mine too. I have a houseful of people and after 11:00 or so at night it is quiet and peaceful.

I actually do *have* a TV - just isn't plugged in! We keep it in a hidden corner of the garage covered up along with a rabbit ear (one of the ears is broken off) for an antennae. When special events come up we pull it out and plug it in. Watch the special event then leave it up for a few days while we watch our old home movies and such.

What constitutes a special event for us? A tornado hitting town, 11 Sept., showing the kids our wedding video, etc. We had it plugged in to show the wedding video and left it up. The man who married us, W.A. Criswell, passed away recently and the kids wanted to see the tape.

Saw President Bush's speech and we watched the last half of the Superbowl. Good game and we enjoyed it. First football game we've purposefully watched in years. It isn't that I don't like football but rather that I can get wrapped up in it easily and fritter the time away. So I choose not to watch/listen to sports.

It's amazing how much more time you have without the TV. Turn it off for a week and see what I mean.
