But I do depend on my online sources, which include the occasional video peak (at Huffingtonpost.com, for example) at something that originally appeared on TV.enoughalreadynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-2660825740969419472009-08-18T21:26:56.806-05:002009-08-18T21:26:56.806-05:00To Jim B.

If I really want to see something--an occasional "Frontline" offering or an interview by Bill Moyers--I''ll go down there and turn it on.<br /><br />Sunday, late in the afternoon, I recalled that there was a tight golf match between T. Woods and an unknown Korean golfer. Saw the last four holes and enjoyed the spectacle.<br /><br />That's all the TV I've seen in the past month. <br /><br />I feel great; my garden is weed- free and thriving; I had tomato and mayo sandwiches for breakfast and lunch today.<br /><br />TV is simply unnecessary, probably bad for you, beyond the point at which it might be retrieved from its fundamental banality.<br /><br />Let it go. Don't watch. Use it for an occasional enjoyable couple of hours with a favorite flick. I watched "Topsy Turvy" from a DVD last week, and enjoyed Jim Broadbent as W.S. Gilbert, as much as when I first saw it years ago). Next week when the bride is gone on vacation I'm gonna watch my favorite, "The Duellists," with Harvey Keitel, David Carradine and about a dozen other great actors and actresses in a Joseph Conrad story. <br /><br />A TV set can be a wonderful and useful thing, if you don't spend more than two or three hours a week near it.Jim Boumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211745461377043118noreply@blogger.com
