Georgetown, SC - Television Without Pity
It was calm this morning as I once again hoisted Kevin up the mast (using the electric winch, of course!). This time he went up there to eliminate the source of our halyard chafing whenever we sail downwind on a port tack (and yes, we are finally sailing often enough so that this would actually be a problem). The halyard (rope that holds up the sail) kept rubbing against the sharp edges on the glomex (the television antenna). If it were to chafe all the way through, the sail would come crashing down and we would have to somehow re-thread a new halyard up through the mast. So, given a choice between that disaster and not being able to watch network TV, we chose the latter. Sorry, "Antiques Roadshow" and "King of Queens" reruns! Not that we watch AR (okay...well only when there's nothing ELSE on...), and we love KoQ but it seems like whenever you turn on the TV you are bound to find at least one of those two shows on, no matter what time it is. So if anyone has a full season of a good TV show lying around the house, by all means feel free to send it to us. We are nearing the end of the first seasons of "Desperate Housewives" and "Veronica Mars" (oh wait, am I not supposed to admit that we watch and actually LIKE that show? Oops!) We accept DVD, VHS, and Beta formats. We would even trade, if any of you all are interested in the first seasons of "Desperate HW", "Nip/Tuck" (warning: each episode contains a few scenes of a realistically portrayed plastic surgery. Not for the squeamish.) or the only season of "American Gothic" (there are reasons it got canceled. Many, many reasons.) Oh, and just kidding about the Beta.
