Surviving My Life

I'm Turning Into My Father

There I was siting in my recliner, flipping through the channels, when it hit me.

I'm turning into my father.

This thought struck me as I surfed from one channel to the next manually, only punching the channel numbers of the ones that I watch.

1-5. Nope. Nothing there. (The Discovery Channel)
2-0. Oh. Nah. I've already seen this show. (The Learning Channel)
2-5. Ah...they're doing the weather in Europe again? (The Weather Channel)
5-4. Darn it! Modern Marvels is a rerun! (The History Channel)
5-9. They're STILL on commercial break? (Fox News)

Repeat the cycle.

As I cycled through these five channels, it suddenly struck me. I'm flipping through the channels in the same order that my father would. I'm watching the same things he watches. If they threw out all the channels except for these five plus Cartoon Network, and the SciFi channel, it's possbile I might never know.

Me? Like my Dad?

I need to go weep into my pillow.
