TV. Yes, it can absolutely be a time-suck that turns you into a mindless zombie enslaved by the corporate masses, but it can also help you cheer on your favorite sportsball teams (SKOL Vikings!), learn new things (SKOL Discovery Channel!) and watch shows that poke you right in the feels (SKOL Emotions!).

Remote controls. I like not having to get up, walk over to the TV, then turn the knob to change channels and find the show that should be on, but the sportsball match earlier went into overtime, so now you’re stuck watching the news for another 20 minutes.
-
DVR. You can skip past commercials and record shows that you might miss because real life sometimes happens at the same time that they’re playing.

This Is Us. Thankfully, I haven’t needed to invest in tissues this season (the show used to thrive on poking its viewers right in the feels), but it still has strong plot lines with good plot twists, strong characters… I really like it.

A Million Little Things. Thanks to the DVR, Teresa and I were able to watch the first two episodes tonight… talk about good plot twists… yowza. Same deal with plot lines and characters. I really like it. (It’s also a show that invites self-reflection and kinda nudges a person to sit back, think about all of your blessings in the world, then write some gratitudes.)
