No Dish

We were up and about early. Well, sorta. Actually, Paul was up and dressed. My job was to keep an eye out for activity at Joyce and Darren's place, (which I did from the cozy comfort of our bed.) They were heading out to Corpus this morning and we'd told them we'd be out to send them off before their 9AM departure. Suddenly, just before 9AM, I caught a glimpse of Joyce, Darren, Mike and Leslie. So, I threw on clothes and we ventured out to send them on their way. It was really great to stumble upon these good folks. We look forward to seeing them down the road.

Our morning project was to get things moving on our switch from DirecTV to Dish Network. We've been DirecTV customers for a decade. But, as we've learned, we can't receive HD programming from DirecTV with our existing dome, but we've been promised we can from Dish. Well, we started calling this morning and three hours later we were right back where we started from. Three hours!!!! So, as much as we'd like to make the switch, we decided not to. Not now, anyway. No Dish for us. Ugh.

Much of our attention the rest of the day was up north. Kansas City is in the bulls eye of a big bad winter storm. So, we spent time on the phone checking in with relatives back home. It seems all of our peeps are well-stocked and prepared to weather the storm. So, we're readying ourselves for the teens yet to come here. Ugh.

Is it Spring yet?
