Weekend Thoughts for 10/10/09

We're still adjusting to the weather here, as the weatherman was nice enough to inform us that it was going to be unseasonably cold this weekend. He wasn't kidding. Sunday's high will be 45 degrees. 45! Geez!

• We went wine tasting here on Saturday, and I'll have a post up about that in the next few days.
• As we were driving on Friday night, we listened to the local radio station. They were broadcasting the local high school football game. It is Homecoming here, and since South Haven only has one high school, there are areas of the town that are very decorated. Unfortunately, they lost.
  
• Scanning their website, I found this little bit of interesting. I know I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention at the time, but even still that they can do this seems a bit shocking to me.
  
• I've come to the conclusion that I'll pay to have just this package of TV channels: The local channels, MLB, NFL, ESPN, HGTV, DIY, and the Fine Living Network (FLN). I can pretty much find something to watch on these channels at all times.
  
• That said, I'm wondering how long it will be until we can get more programming online than we can through the TV cables themselves. With Hulu, Fancast, and many of the TV channels' own websites, I can almost always find a program I want to see when I want to see it.
• We picked up pumpkins today! I'm told I am going to carve at least one of them, which is something I cannot remember ever doing. Should be interesting. Photos to follow hopefully (unless it really looks bad, at which point I'll deny it forever).
• The Bears are on a bye this week, and having looked at the rest of the schedule, I am glad there is playoff baseball on tomorrow. I can't find more than one or maybe two games that I remotely want to watch for the actual games, and not their impact on my fantasy football teams.
