Sleep Timer

Never stray from the channels you are used to diary. This happened to me and now I am absolutely addicted to some show called 'Party Starters.' It is on one of the upper channels, even past all the Latin programming which has it's own intrigue, believe me. But anyway, I am giving the new Mitishu big screen a run and so I am getting aquainted with the remote. I know there isn't a difference between a reason and an excuse, but it is a good show. But I must have hit an extra button because all of a sudden it shut off on me right before they showed me how to make an Apple Martini. It took me an hour by the pool with the "ownies" to find that indeed it was the sleep timer, nothing lost nothing gained. I am off to improv, write more later.
