My Current Interest

               When I am trying to find something to watch on TV, I have a selected list of channels that I check.   I know which ones I am most likely to find something I like and I go to those first.   Over the past couple of months this list has grown a little and it now includes the two PBS channels in my area.   I do not know how many times I came across these channels and found something interesting to watch.   It became a habit to check them and now they are officially part of my list.                 One of my most exciting finds has been the airings of Midsomer Murders during the week.   Each weekday half of an episode is aired.   While I do prefer to watch the shows in their entirety, I love the show too much to care that it is split in half.   At least of the episodes I have seen.   If I h...
