Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

TV Could Wreck a Marriage

My husband, I love him dearly. He is a very sweet man (most of the time). I have to give him credit, he puts up with my mother while I travel. And he is patient with my moodiness (most of the time). He does have one quirk tho and I suspect this isn't something unique to my husband. No it's not abuse. God NO! He doesn't drink or stay out all night. No, nothing like THAT!! No, it's his choice of TV programs. He is obsessed with 2 types of television shows. Sports (preferrably University of Texas Sports) and Crime Shows.
Luckily for me he is kind of picky about the sports watches. He prefers UT baseball (both men and women's) and football. Whew, that gives me at least a week sports free all year round!!

The crime shows, however are never ending!! CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, NCSI!! Enough CSI shows to cover almost an entire week.
And then there are the REAL crime shows on Court TV and A&E. Cops is his all time favorite (I have tried banning it in our home, but I think he sneaks around and watches it when I'm out of town or late at night when I'm sleeping). He also likes Investigative Reports, American Justice, Psychic Dectectives and a slew of other shows. All about murder. (It would make a less secure wife a tad bit paranoid don't you think?)

But I love him. So thank God I travel 4 days a week and stay in hotel rooms, by myself, with my OWN remote control. That way I can watch any show on television that isn't related to Crime!!
