hate sports--grew up with a dad who loved it, and that was all that was ever on the tube, it seemed. i used to read a lot--then, i started sewing and crocheting. i have to credit sports programming with getting me to read lots of good literature, make lots of things, bake lots of cookies and bread--i have even gone outside and shoveled snow to get away from it. but NOW, i have a iPod, so i can stay warm and listen to whatever i want to, and take it with me to the kitchen or sewing room. win/win! hubby gets the remote, i get to do stuff! much better for both of us!
