Almost an hour dealing with DirecTV, most of that on hold.  I told them I was so annoyed at the hold time that they should just cancel the service.  He ultimately brought my price down by twenty dollars, so I agreed to stay with them for a year.  Then I'll reassess. 

I know that Comcast has a Loyalties department.  If you've been a long-time customer, you can ask (and usually get) a discount because you've been a customer for so long.  I need to renew that for myself.

When we told Craig we were getting Comcast here he ranted about them for 15 minutes. Craig is not one to rant.  Fortunately we have been very happy but he sure has had problems.

You're the first person I've ever heard of who has been happy with Comcast. Every time their name is brought up I hear a rant, just like Craig's. I'd like to think they've turned over a new leaf.

I haven't had much trouble with Comcast, at all.  It's too expensive, but that's a separate issue.

We do plan to make some changes to reduce our yearly costs.

Well, I'm off now.  Tonight will be the line-through for added Saturday performance of "The Physician in Spite of Himself."  We haven't been with each other since December 18, so hopefully everyone will still know their lines.  I've gone over mine a few times and so far, they're still there. :) Tomorrow, we'll have a full run-through, although I don't know if that'll include costumes or just the staging.  I'm sure I'll find out tonight.

Be back later.

Listening to the final Kurt Atterberg symphony, which is actually a huge thing for solo singers and chorus.  Not my favorite but the music is certainly lovely.

Back to the Lobster. Not liking it anymore today than yesterday. And violence against animals just isn't funny.

Today's high was 68, but with the wind, it never felt warmer than the low 50s. Tonight, the temperature drops much further. The high tomorrow will only be in the 30s and the low will be in the 20s.

Thankfully, a sweater I bought after Christmas arrived today. It's a superwarm cardigan. It will be put to good use.

It is still cold here, however, the winds died down and our walk was much more comfortable.

I am enjoying Topaz. Very old-fashioned thriller. But some very effective scenes.

Another page and a half and I'll have done a bit over eleven pages.  Taking a short break.  I did take a shower, which gave me a little idea to expand that I'd written to add more detail and fun, so I did that.  Now I'll take a little music break, then continue at ten and hopefully be finished by ten-thirty.

I did lose a couple of hours to phone business - first Apple, then DirecTV, and then Amazon, who hadn't credited me with the two extra Prime months.  I got a nice lady and she fixed it so I'm good until April now.

I will check later, unless I actually fall asleep, and see if DR TCB posts.  My guess is he needs to rest his eyes.
