Bad news is better than no news

This evening I was watching the late news and there was a story about
some miners trapped in a mine in West Virginia and Doug changed the
channel just as the story was beginning. I told him to turn it back,
but he said that it was all bad news. I told him that I didn't care
and that I had a great interest in the story because I grew up in a
mining town and knew about these things. He didn't understand why I
was so upset and I decided to go upstairs and blog instead of get mad
at him. He also does this during commercials which infuriates me to
no end because I like to watch commercials. Thank goodness for TIVO.

So, here I am telling the world about how terrible he was. Actually,
it wasn't that big of a deal, but I did feel like my interests were
not important and that's what made me so upset. A while later, Doug
came up to my office and told me that he had TIVO'd the news for me
and that made me feel better because he knew that I am a news junky.
I can't help it. I've been working in the news field for more than
15 years and any news, good or bad interests me.

Now if there was a way to switch computer games while Doug is in the
middle of playing one of his games, hmmmmm......ha ha ha ha .. . . . .
