I finally got the downstairs cable working, but I somehow missed the fact that we do not have a DVR with our new cable service. We have lots of on-demand stuff, almost everything we watch in fact, and Netflix included so no need to stream it through the DVD player anymore, so we’re going to try it out without a DVR. I already don’t like it, because we even have to watch commercials with the on-demand shows. Do not like it, at all. We’ve had a DVR for 15 years, can we ever go back? We’re going to try. In other news, finally a real softball game this week! It wasn’t certain at first since there were a lot of circumstances amongst the players and only 8 showed up. We recruited one of the players’ teenage son and he played catcher for us, and bailed us out a bit. We won the game, 13-11, although we tried hard to blow it in the last inning. We had an 8-run lead that turned into a 2-run lead by the time we were done. Our outfield is a bit shaky, and balls were taking bad hops, and Bob and I were colliding chasing a popup and such. Also the game started 20 minutes late because there was a car crash right at the entrance to CCAC just before game time and the police weren’t letting anyone pass. Wednesday I took a vacation day from work, I figure school is going to be out soon so it’d be nice for Beth and I to get to spend some time alone together. We went out to breakfast, went shopping at the Amish grocery store, did some geocaching up around Bremen, and some other stuff.
