An in-depth, and let's face it scary, look at how I think and observe the world. I've often been called weird. But what is normal, really? Maybe I'm normal, and all of you are weird.

Working the Remote for Dummies
My wife and I got this new TV cable system put into our home. It has all the latest toys…HDTV, DVR, the works! However, my wife has had a bit of difficulty working all the options and features, esp. recording and later watching shows on the DVR.
So, as a joke I got her a book called, “Working the Remote for Dummies.” Needless to say it went over like a screen door on a submarine. But in good humor, she read the book anyway.
Today, I discovered the fatal flaw to my plan. Somehow she managed to block all of the stations that I normally watch, primarily my football-all-the-time channels. She also somehow upgraded the remote with some genometrics, so that it only recognizes her DNA pattern. The worst part is that I can’t figure out how to undo what she’s done. I was forced to have to walk across the room to change the channel this evening, which every self-respecting guy out there knows is out of the question. This can’t go on like this!
So, here I sit reading “Working the Remote for Dummies.” Where IS that chapter on removing genometrics from the remote?
