About 3 months after my son was born, I realized the degree to which my life had changed. One thing was clear: there was no more time for TV. Cable was soon cancelled and my TV watching was reduced to a bare minimum. Even though I was cable-less, I was able to occasionally tune in using my computer and downloading shows from iTunes. Still, I had to be frugal with my time, and there were only two shows which I made it a point to watch every week (albeit usually on my iPhone and often as audio only): 60 Minutes and Meet the Press.

Toward the end of Meet the Press. Tim Russert would say “we’ll be right back,” but the show was basically over. He’d just return briefly to close the show. It always seemed to come too soon and made me feel kind of cheated, but at least I could look forward to the next week.

Today, I feel kind of cheated, but I don’t think there’ll be any relief next Sunday.
