What? No DVR?

Crap. We have hit our first bump in the road and we’re not even in the RV yet! Getting the house closed up, we, of course, disconnected our home phone. I did a mental happy dance at the thought of no more annoying telemarketing calls. Note: We have been on the “do not call” list for years and yet still get an average of 6-8 sales calls a day. Ha! As I am typing this, the phone is ringing…and yes, it is a telemarketer. Maybe the last one before the line goes dead. (Mental happy dance . . . Again).

Next, we called to disconnect our Dish service. Although we will be traveling in style, with satellite TV and a “hot spot” for our internet needs, my heart went cold when I came to the realization that we will no longer be able to tape an endless number of shows at the same time. A dark cloud appears over our sunny dream . . . Silver lining; learning to appreciate the beauty and art of conversation once again, as we pull reluctantly away from our TV filled evenings. And, if we don’t have anything to say, I’m sure the crickets and coyotes will fill in for us.
