This is Jeopardy

My wife seemed to be trying to play injured during yesterday's blog. So I am scratching her from today's lineup and will write today's entry for her. I don't think she will mind.

My Family
It seems my family will be helping out every weekend but one in March. It can be an annoying drive from Chicago but my sister did it last weekend, my brother is coming this weekend and my parents the last weekend in March. I guess that's what happens when you're the favorite.


ATT Uverse
So my cable bill went up by $5 without me being notified, so in my nice calm demeanor, I called to ask why. After she explained, I then in a very kind tone, asked if it would cost me money to cancel, (I would never cancel Uverse, it gives me Comcast Sportsnet Chicago on the basic package.) She asked me to hold, came back and lowered my bill by $10 dollars. A successful negotiation. I also got HBO free for 3 months and 100 more channels free for 1 month. Thank you Uverse!

Chalk Board
Without our trusty chalkboard to make notes on we would probably have little scraps of paper all over the house. Its also nice to use a chalk board instead of those dumb dry erase boards where the damn markers die all the time. I hated those in college.

Washing Machine
I know this has been around for decades but I don't know how people lived without washing machines. Last night Cameron went through three outfits in 5 minutes, a new record. He has diarrhea from his antibiotic and he pooped onto 2 outfits, then after that I was holding him and he peed on his outfit and me. No matter how distracted you get by nasty poop you still have to remember not to let his pee pee be pointing out of the diaper. During this whole fiasco Cameron was happy and just kept watching Sportscenter. (Here is a pic of Katie changing outfit #3 while Cameron stares at the TV.)

Jeopardy
Greatest show on TV. You get great trivia, every character and it makes you feel smart (or dumb, I guess for some people.) You have the annoying guy who answers every question in a tone like he is guessing, the snotty girl who answers everything like she is certain and gets shocked when wrong and the dope who thinks being on this game show is going to start his TV career. The best part is when you get the question right and all those losers get it wrong. Yesterday Alex Trebek said the final question was really hard and he expected them to get it wrong. 2 people got it wrong, me and the winner got it right.
