Life and Death of a Cable Box
For a few moments, I felt as if I had lost a child.
I came home from work on Monday to an empty house. I had to stay late for an event at work, so Maria took Bridget with her to the PTO meeting.
I figured I would cook myself a small dinner, plop myself down in front of the television, and relax until they got home.
But something funny happened when I went into the living room to turn on the TV. The box on top of the TV was flashing some crazy numbers. I had no idea what was happening.
I did what any guy would do in the situation. I unplugged the cable box, then plugged it back in.
