After a day at work I came home in the hope of wasting an hour or two in front of the TV before I went out to swim. Something happened to change all of that however, as I slouched deep into our couch and began channel surfing. For all my life our family has gotten a basic cable package that does not have the two tv essentials: ESPN and Fox Sports Midwest. I could sorta get ESPN if I didn't mind squinting at the fuzzy black and white display without any sound. As I approached the elusive channel 42 everything appeared normal--Cash Cab on the Discovery Channel, celebrity trash on E, reruns of some not-so-funny sitcom on TBS, and Sportcenter on ESPN in color. SPORTCENTER IN COLOR WITH SOUND?!?!?!?! I did a double take. And a triple take. Somehow we now had the full cable package. I ran around the coffee table a few times, made a couple celebratory howls, and began my quest of making up for nineteen years of lost time.
