This summer I did something I'd been threatening to do for at least a year - I turned in my DVR and bought a Roku. For those of you who may be considering doing the same thing, let me share what I've learned. Handing in the DVR box was completely painless. I went to the … Continue reading Giving Sling a shot

It’s over – and I’m sad
After 92 episodes, Mad Men is finished. My weekly date with Don Draper is no longer on my calendar and I'm already feeling the void. *Sigh*. It was a good run.
