    Thanksgiving in Bermuda

    Last year my wife and I traveled to Bermuda and absolutely loved it during the off season.  We stayed for almost a week but left the day before Thanksgiving to have dinner back home with family.  We’ve been going out to dinner at nice restaurants for many years but last year was the end of that with bad experiences on year after another all culminating to the prior year being our last. My wife and I, with the helpful prodding of our daughter, convinced my parents to come with us to Bermuda this year and stay through Thanksgiving.  We had no idea where we were going to eat or exactly…

    A million people cut the cord in the last 3 months, and cable companies are worried

    Thought this was a short article telling us what we already knew: I was one of them. Cheaper TV is good for the consumer. Sure the businesses will suffer, but they will need to transform. They’ve been living high on the hog for too long. I recently moved over to DirecTVNow.  However they capitalize it…  and use Roku players and a mix of Apple TV players.  The pricing starts at $40.00 a month.  Which is a bit more then when I started, I want to say it was only $35.00 so pricing has gone up, but also so hasn’t the features.  Since I started, they’ve now added all the local…
