i get a do over on thursday nites

this is great, altho its killing me on friday mornings!  Back when i was in elementary school,late "50s on saturday nites when the then late news went off, about 10:30there was 1 channel that showed these old black and white monster movies, creature from the black lagoon etc. well mom & dad would go to bed, leave myself and little sister with a blanket a bowl of popcorn and a cup of hot choc. in a darke living room and let us stay up. well sis would usually hurry the drink and go to bed at the first hint of a scary scene! Leaving me alone to watch and ill admit that i remember hideing my eyes sometimes but i was big brother,I had to stay up and watch so i could give the movie a review the next morning. Back the there were only 3 channels and the monster movie was usually the last to go off air leaveing you with a test pattern untill about 6:30 am! those were fun times! Well TCM has started re-running those old movies on thursday nights and i watch and it takes me back. Only now their not scary, just so dumb i laff at the way i acted some 50yrs ago! Yea iv got one on now, I think its called X THE UNKNOWN! lol and yea its 12:30 but terror from outer space comes on in 30min. last week i went to bed and turned em on in there and fell asleep during the creature from the haunted sea. darn i wanted to see that too! last thing i remember were giant creatures walking into high voltage power lines, people running down streets waving arms and screeming, 50s cars crashing into fire hydrants, well i guess i crashed too, when i woke up the next morning the tv wa still on. Of course i had turned it down so i wouldnt disturb Anita. Of course now we have here about 100 cable channels on 24 hrs a day and still nothing to watch, I think Anita and I have about  4 discovery channels we watch, a couple of nat.geo, 2 science,2 history, we watch and learn all the things that I should have paid attention to in high school! On the other hand, if i had payed attention back then and learned i wouldnt be intrested now and id be bored and more grouchy! Iv got a lot of sports channels, i think theres 1 for every sport known to mankind!      Anita is not a sports fan so i have this room just around the corner from the den i call man cave "B" where i watch football,nascar sportcenter and all the sports talk shows, Oh man cave "A" is the garage but its been just to hot to hang out and tinker. It was showing 103 out there today in the shade! well terror from space is comeing on in 5min, Anita is asleep so im gonna grab a beer& a cigar & a bag of chips and lean back and relive my childhood! except i didnd have a beer & cigar in my childhood,Ha Ha!
