Watching Sports on the 'heilige' tv
First off, I'm 'obligated' to offer my congrats to you, "C", on the Pats SB victory last night--I hope you didn't get too 'wasted' in celebration, ;-). Now that I've gotten the preliminaries out of the way, I want to mention a 'kabalah' I accepted on myself after last night's game.

I looked at myself in the mirror and said to myself 'what a colossal waste of time!' Not just the SB, but spending time watching/following all sports! Since the SB was such a close game, I was anxious all night, and my family, unfortunately, was the real loser--not just my not being there for them, but in addition, all/most of my interactions with them were hurried (i.e., so as not to miss a moment of the action, chas v'Shalom!), and I'm afraid I owe a few 'shekels' to the Shalom Bayis fund!

So, my kabalah, is as follows: bli neder, no more watching sports on tv. In addition, I edited my 'my yahoo' to remove from there all sports-related stuff (another colossal waste of time!). My goal is that when I walk into shul in the morning, I don't even know what they're talking about as far as who played whom, etc., ;-).
