Today was a rather quite day.Nothing exceptional going on. Nancy and I finished programing the new TiVo machine. Nancy learned to use all of the controls from the remote. Now she can do the recording, deleting, and playing of programs from the hard drive -all on her own. She never used the old machine. I think we'll get more use out of this one, since it is in a downstairs location and a little more convenient. The lifetime subscription eliminates the monthly fee that we had been paying. All in all, a good purchase. TiVo rules as a DVR, in my opinion.

I did manage to take my afternoon walk today. I try to take a walk of around two and a half miles, several days a week. I saw the Westies, Eddy and Wiggy, while on my walk. Carlene, their caretaker, walked with me awhile and told me stories about how difficult it is to train Westies. She once hired someone to train Wiggy. It was costing her thirty dollars for a half hour of obedience training - to no avail. Wiggy befuddled the trainer and basically continued to do things his way. So, she gave up and decided to get a second dog to keep Wiggy company - and hopefully to be a positive influence. That's when Eddy came on the scene. That didn't work either, as Wiggy taught Eddy some of his bad habits. Now both Wiggy and Eddy do pretty much whatever they want - and that seems to work fine for them - maybe not so great for Carlene, but the dogs seem to be real happy. Carlene has decided to just let them be - you know, Wiggy and Eddy. Both of their pictures are on my "Dog Wall of Fame" - in my garage. They're special animals. Soon there will be a cat picture added to the "Dog Wall of Fame" (Baby Face). I know, it sounds strange, but Baby Face is a special cat and she is deserving of being included. She'll be the only cat that I add to the collection.

More about that tomorrow...

I just finished watching "Friday Night Lights". It is one of my favorite new shows for the fall season - along with "Studio Sixty". Texas football is in a league of its own and "Friday" does an interesting job of depicting the sport from a Texas mindset. As for "Studio Sixty", I feel that it provides viewers with some of the best writing that is currently on television. "West Wing", same producers as "Studio Sixty" and recently cancelled, was another favorite of mine.

Tomorrow is suppose to be a pretty good day, weather-wise. Maybe we'll plan something special to do for the afternoon? We'll have to see...
