Seven Weeks and a Day

It's been that long since Karen left us. I won't go into details, but it's been a struggle for some to get through this. There have been some really bad times. Fortunately, there are those who are now heading in a better direction, though others are not. It will take a long time for things to even attempt to approach some normalcy. I so wish I could do more for these people that mean so much in my life. It has been very frustrating and painful to go through, but that's nothing compared to what they are dealing with. A day at a time almost seems like too much to contemplate, but it's what must be done. Each day leads to the next, and it will get better.

Verizon FiOS

Switched from Comcast TV and Internet to Verizon FiOS this past Monday. I really, really love it! The Internet speeds I had with Comcast were pretty much the same as FiOS, but FiOS works a lot better. I actually paid Comcast an extra $10.00 per month to get the 16MB download and was getting close to 20MB. FiOS is 20MB, but it is much faster and seems to have less glitchy performance. And the TV service is awesome! The hi-def is much better quality, noticeably so. Also, I get a lot more channels, both HD and regular. After watching NCAA tournament basketball tonight I switched to ESPNU HD and watched some NCAA tournament hockey (and the game I watched was hi-def!). I didn't even get that channel (HD or standard) with Comcast. Can you tell I'm pleased? All this for about $55.00 cheaper per month for 2 years guaranteed. No brainer!! Highly recommended.

UPDATE: The basketball tournament game I referenced above was the Villanova - Pitt game. Manny came over to watch it with me and it was the best college basketball game we've seen in a long, long time. Go 'Cats!
