Ok, I suppose in some neanderthal and unenlightened circles, the man is the king of the castle, right? This man, however, apparently is not. My home has the four televisions as listed in the title of the post. One in the living room, one in the master bedroom, one in my daughter’s room and one in the kitchen. Guess who had plans to watch the Florida-Oklahoma BCS Championship Game? That’s right, yours truly. Guess who ended up listening to the game on his laptop? That’s right, yours truly.
How did this happen, you may ask? Well, at the appointed time, I was going to watch the game in the living room. However, the daughter, who has the television in her bedroom, had set up shop there, so no go. I decided to go to the master bedroom to watch, but the Mrs. had camped out there, watching anything to kill time to see Grey’s Anatomy and Eleventh Hour at 9:00 and 10:00. While she wasn’t watching anything particular, she wouldn’t let me get a sniff of the game on the TV there. Well, I thought, I’ll go to the daughter’s room to watch. After getting comfortable, I turned the game on and started to watch. Before half of the first quarter was over, she had come upstairs because her sister and her friends had come over to watch Grey’s on the living room set. So after being kicked out of there, I decided to go to the kitchen. But before the sister began watching TV, she was in the kitchen baking cookies! Who bakes cookies at 8:00 PM? So I thought I would watch in the living room, but her “boyfriend” had camped out on the couch. I finally gave up and stuck the headphones in my laptop, found the ESPN radio feed on XM Radio online and opened the ESPN game tracker and here I am. However, the wife has gone to sleep in the master bedroom, so I’ll be leaving the laptop and will get to see most of the 4th quarter on TV in HD.
Figures it has been a good game too, instead of the projected Florida blowout. I guess you could say the women run this house, and you won’t get much argument from me. Sports in general is a hit-or-miss proposition when you can’t even get near a television to watch any games. These women all have their shows that they have to watch, be they the latest soap opera dramas or the newest reality drivel to hit the tube. The only games I’ve been able to watch consistently are the NFL games on Sundays, because I refuse to watch my Sunday Ticket anywhere but in the living room. However Sunday Ticket is over now, so I guess I’ll have to see when I can sneak another peek at sports on our living room set. I think I’m gonna have to buy yet another set and put it in our converted office so that I can have something of a man-cave (our house doesn’t have a basement).
If any of you out there have any suggestions on how I can reclaim the title of king of the castle, I’m all ears 
LOL…
I had to DVR my Thursday night shows, Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy. Still haven’t watched them yet.
I like football on television and baseball on the radio.
ha! I suppose I should be thankful to be single, then, if that’s the price one must pay for familial bliss. What was wrong with the boyfriend, though, not wanting to watch football? For shame!
The “boyfriend” is feeling the first blush of love, so I’m guessing he was to smitten to even notice that the game was even on. Besides, I think he’s an NBA man; he’d rather watch that than college football.
