I have an OVA antenna for local stuff (football games etc), I already had Amazon Prime, and I will run something like Sling or Vue for some of the channels Lisa watches frequently. Once GoT starts up again, I will add HBO to that service for the two months it is on, then get rid of it right afterward. Not being tied into a two-year contract is one of the main draws for getting rid of cable.

Welcome to my world! I haven't had cable or any TV service in over 15 years. I don't miss it at all.

Ha! Not typical, but the way weather's been here in western Pennsylvania the past few years, anything is possible. (Sure, why not 3 degrees in January and 93 degrees in June, right?)

I have no idea what's going to end up looking best, but I'm already pretty convinced the thicker look is better than what I had before. Maybe I'll rationalize that away when it's 89 degrees in April or something, though.

Beard conditioner stuff is working moderately well: been using it for about a month. Still a bit scratchy, but I think that's just, ya' know, having a beard of any significant length at all.
You want that beard for softball and you know it! Ever since the BoSox beards won their last world series, it has become a "thing" to have one now. My hairs auburn but my beard grows out red, it looks too funky.
Beard Balm is the way to go.

It stops hairs sprouting at crazy angles perpendicular to your face.

Finally saw Demolition and I must say I was torn to shreds by it. Possibly a new top ten. Gunna need a few repeat viewings before I decide.

Just saw that it has made close to $100 mil in the US already. I couldn't believe it.

Never underestimate the power of Fassbot.
