Cable Cutting Update

Posted on by nancyb422

Last Friday, I wrote about how I cancelled our cable service and my husband was pretty concerned.

Last Saturday, we signed up for a free one week trial of FUBO so he could watch the NFL football games on Saturday and Sunday. That was good.

Although we have a Vizio smart tv and it has our live local news, he couldn’t watch CBS Sunday Morning live. He would be able to watch it at 11am or live from his IPad at cbsnews.com but that was not the same. He was a little sulky about it. But the live football revived him.

Here we are, another weekend, another round of football. What to do what to do. We reviewed the information I took out of my Cutting the Cord class at the library and we decided rather than trying to do a patchwork of streaming channels, we’d just go with Hulu Live TV because they do carry all the major networks.

I’m grateful that it’s so easy to sign up. If I had to talk to people to set it up, we’d be installing an antenna on our roof.

Our UConn men’s basketball game is on the tv now and all’s right with the world!

We’re a Football Family!

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I grew up watching football on tv and in person at our town’s junior football league.

Later, I was running down the hill to the high school games on Saturdays in middle school and cheering them from the sidelines once I became a cheerleader in high school.

Pickup games were played on the practice field in the fall and there was a certain thrill in evading tackles or keeping someone from the ball while on defense.

Senior year I was a captain for defense on our Powder Puff football team. We had practice for 2 or three weeks before the big game against our cross town rivals on the day before Thanksgiving.

Our son played football for the same high school team I cheered for and once again I would head down the hill to watch the games.

My family has a 16 member Fantasy Football league which as me checking the predictions and watching Red Zone closely on Sundays!

Definitely football is my favorite sport!

My Favorite Time of Year

Posted on by nancyb422
Sitting in my chair this morning

THIS is my favorite time of year. A warm Sunday mid-morning. Slight breeze, sun shining, local high school field with some game chatter about a half-mile away, and still a hint of the weather to come hiding underneath the warmth.

It makes me think of bike rides as a kid on Columbus Day, local peewee football games with my dad, and a brisk walk in the afternoon.
