"Gonna Be ON Tv Soon...."
Stepping up to a larger flat screen television set MIGHT cause a problem.
For my cat.
And, for me.
She has never paid attention before but the bigger, brighter image seems to catch her attention.
She favors the Detroit
LIONS, the Jacksonville
JAGUARS, the Cinncinati
BENGALS and the Carolina
PANTHERS.
At first she walked carefully over and around the various tv remote controls.
Some were quite old and some were brand new.
There's even one now for a ROKU unit so I can stream
Netflix.
I'm waiting until I install my Blu-Ray DVD player before I consolidate ALL into my universal remote.
I took the batteries out of the ones I'm not using now.
The cat has moved closer but - so far - has not pawed the screen.
Apparently, football is the mainstay of her tv watching.
She does not seem to be interested in Comedy Central.
Not even Jon Stewart on
The Daily Show or Stephen on the
Colbert Report.
I knew my kitty was curious.
I just assumed she had a sense of humor.
(Click on the pictures for more details.)
Streaming movies is a great way to see big, vivid films. The cat's not much of a cinema buff but let's see what happens when we check out
Animal Planet.

I Expect To Be Invited Back...
Went to my first
Carolina Panthers game Sunday up in Charlotte.
And they won their first game of the season. Feeling better about 1-5.
They tied the 49ers in the last few minutes and then made another field goal for the win. Nice.
I'm just saying...my first game...their first win.
I expect to receive free tickets in the mail for their next home game.
Hmm. I suppose I COULD travel with the team if needed.
Saw disgruntled people leaving the stands in the 4th quarter. Trying to beat the traffic?
Wonder if they had gotten out of the parking lot before the Panthers tied, then won the game? Ouch.
The stadium was not completely filled - well, they HAD lost all of the first five games - and I was sitting on the 50 yard line about 16 rows up.
You can buy great seats like that from a
"scalper," a person with season tickets who couldn't make it.
You pay more but if the win record had been better, prime seats like these probably would not have been available.
Remember Coach Fox: with me there, you win.
The night before I had explored
NoDa which stands for North Davidson, a funky, hippie-ish neighborhood centered around 36th street.
Live music on the deck drew me into
Revolution Pizza & Ale House. If you go there, I suggest you try their
"Cheeseburger Pie." Just what you would expect but probably not on a pizza.
Hamburger and cheese sure, but lettuce and tomato and pickles? well, of course.
I also found out what happens to former big name quarterbacks and other players who once were popular fan favorites.

Canon S90 is not really well suited to cover sports but it captured the flavor of the trip. Thanks for looking in. Please come back again.]
