The Cable Guy...or Not?

Well, the debate is arising once again in our home; should we discontinue cable? It's such a distraction for the kids especially, but for me as well.  In the evenings, I'm usually so exhausted that I just sit down in front of the TV and veg. The odd evening that I find the energy to do something else...like clean or organize something, I feel so productive and swear to myself that I will no longer watch TV in the evenings.  That usually lasts one night.

Our cable is also added to the long line of mounting bills that appear in my inbox monthly (we go paperless of course!).  It would be nice to see one less expense each month.  The alternative option is streaming. I can watch most of my shows now, either online or through Netflix.  Luckily we are not a family that is into sports.  Except the Olympics, of course. Sports are more difficult to replace and most people want to watch their sports live and in HD.  So when the Olympics are done, perhaps we'll brave the masses and cancel cable once and for all. I'll keep you posted on how that goes...if it goes.
