this is a man who can fall asleep in a movie theater (and not during some sappy movie either...he slept through patriot games) on a couch in the middle of a party..it's not a matter of being comfortable it's a matter of not engaging in life around him.
as far as tampering with the tv reception??? interesting but that would effect the kids too as they like the disney channel...oh and then h would just find another way to get his sports...the radio...the internet...right now it's a battle for him or perhaps the only thing keeping him awake is that the tv and the puter are in two different rooms so when he wants to check the weather he has to walk up the stairs and over the past few days he's checked the weather ever 1/2 hour...and yes I check the history and it's all weather related sites and I don't think he's handy enough to delete just one visit.
h is putting son to bed right now..I assume he'll retreat to the cave after though his dad is here and taken over the couch....he may end up on the bean bag on the floor down there as I've already lit myslef a fire in the family room and plan on watching a movie that fil told me is on at 8...crap I forget the name but I do tend to like the movies he suggests.
funny that fil suggests a movie to me..and while bil was here he played with my puter making a dvd out of my pics and while in the puter room asked me if I'd been to a new retail store around here as they have some nice pics like the ones I've got hanging.
so it aint h's family....either there's just something missing in h or there's something missing between h and I.
I tend to think more the latter and sadly am not all that interested anymore.
