Sour face but good satellite signal

• Henry's playing Gershwin tonight with the orchestra at the big Methodist church downtown tonight. 
• The performance starts at 7:30 pm.  
• Mom scheduled a visit from the cable repair man today.  
• He called about 4 to say he wouldn't be able to make it until 6 to 8 pm. 
• So I canceled the evening at the Methodist church and waited for 3 hours on the repair man.  

He arrived a 6:45 and left at 7:15 after telling us it was caused by trees interfering with the satellite signal and that we should unplug the cable box once a week. He offered another solution for the trees: upgrade to HD which uses a different set of satellite signals which may also be blocked by a different set of trees. 

Apparently we in the south get much worse satellite reception than northern states because of the position of the satellites.  No much humor in that, but I am glad to know it is the fault of the trees and the position of our residence within the United States that causes the problem. Now I understand so much better that I should not be so dependent on tv anyway.  See its all about attitude and learning to get along. If God gives a you a sour face learn to eat lemons and blame it on that.
