A Day At The Park

Thanks for the article from Quinton Wynn

When the sun is shining and my favorite baseball team takes the field, there's nothing more spectacular in my life. It's like nothing has ever happened before or will ever happen again, so there's nothing left to do but enjoy the roar of the crowd and the crack of the bat. That's the kind of overwhelming feeling I get when my team takes the field and begins passing the ball around to practice. It's like watching someone prepare for war, only the war is going to dazzle instead of sadden. A live game is one of the greatest pleasures in life, though my recent addition has made the live game about the same as another simple pleasure:

I also love to watch games on satellite television from www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/VIRGINIA-VA-direct-tv.html. A professional baseball game captured in my living room is just as awesome as it is in person. I kick back on the couch, have some nachos and a few drinks, and take in all the action just like I would if it were live. If it's a beautiful day outside, the tv captures that beauty perfectly and I never feel as if I've missed out on anything. It saves an unbelievable amount of money too. Hot dogs are reasonably cheap at home, not at the park.

I would recommend an afternoon of baseball indoors. It's just as exciting.

Cable loses the Battle against Direct TV AGAIN!

A few weeks ago I told you how Stephen and myself were glad to have installed a Direct TV Satellite.

Well if I did not convince you then, here is another reason. Last weekend we got all geared up to watch a show we were looking forward to, our neighbor across the street was looking forward to the same show. She has cable, and of course, we have directtv. Well we live in Virginia, and last weekend the winds were so strong that it was picking things up out of our yard and tossing them yards away, whew.

Don't you know, that about an hour before the show was to air, the electricity went out for about 20 minutes, we were all worried that it would be out for the night, but lucky that it was only out for 20 minutes. We got a phone call from the girl across the street, asking if our TV was working, and that hers only had static. "No, ours is just fine."

She was bummed, so we told her to come watch it with us, cause we had directv and everything was working fine, so she ran over.

You see, when the electricity goes out, sometimes for some odd reason, the cable gets screwed up too, at least in this area. When we went to answer the door to let her in, 2 cable trucks were slowly driving and stopping along our street, and this is a site that really isn't uncommon either. I swear we laugh everytime we see that happen, even tho it isn't very funny to the rest of the neighborhood.

Out of our whole block, we and 3 others are the only ones with a directtv satellite. I think Gina is convinced now, and may be switching.

HA HA, cable sucks, and DIRECT TV is King!!!
