There have been a lot of happy years, but I finally think it’s time that I go a different direction. It seems like it has become more about money than about trying to please. As time has gone on, her equipment has become outdated and my tolerance level isn’t what it used to be.

Sometime today it will become official. After over 20 years, of a mostly blissful relationship, DirectTV is showing up and when they get me hooked up, I’ll box up all this DishTV outdated crap and send it back.

Wish me luck. This old dog doesn’t adapt to new tricks like he used to. My hands can operate this old remote without so much as glancing down at it. I know it’s going to take time to get the feel of a new model. But in some odd way, I feel up for the challenge. What I’m really up for is paying about 1/2 as much as we’ve been paying.
