In looking at the Hot searches on Google today, Thanksgiving Eve, 2011 we find #1 – Thanksgiving. Thank God! Glad it is not yet Christmas (or something scary).

Number 2 however is someone I have never heard of (mind you I do not have TV. Just Netflix. And a VCR/DVD Deck.) Yes a VCR. To many of you it’s right up there with the phone my 9-year-old saw in a thrift shop this past weekend. It was pretty old-fashioned even to my standards – ornate, fancy handle, on a pedestal. She picked up the receiver, that was familiar enough and said “mom, how do you dial it?” It was a rotary dial of course…. But she does math online, can adeptly search for horse videos and 12-year-olds seeing how fast they can sing the “50 Nifty United States” on YouTube. And do more on my cell phone than I can… she simply can’t understand a rotary telephone.

Anyhoo – Number 2, yes, I had to Google it adding to the count.. Oh poop, DWTS. See, no TV.

Number 3 Kyle Orton, no clue. Maybe he’s number two on DWTS? Ah, football player. I like football but don’t watch it much seeing as… I don’t have TV.

And number 4 is the same as number 2 – “dancing with the stars winner.”

So the list continues with people I don’t know and then gets back to number one, with pecan pie, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. Now that I understand, it’s that time of year for which we do not need TV, except the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and… football.
