It was -11 when I got home a couple hours ago. Wanting desperately to warm up quickly, I headed for the shower. On the way I stopped and switched on the TV, figuring that the news would be on when I emerged from the shower. As I was about to step into the tub an odd noise caught my attention; I wrapped up in a towel and trotted into the living room where I discovered, to my horror, that I'd accidentally tuned the TV to Fox, and Glenn Beck was holding forth. Chilled though I was I managed to dispense half a can of Lysol before retreating into the shower. When the weather clears I'm going to have a friend do a sage exorcism. But I still think another shower is in order, just on principle. Yuck.

1. Put the TV out on the porch, just to be safe.
We're all pulling for you here. It was just an accident. It could happen to anyone. Just remind yourself of that.

2. Hah! And thanks!
Ironically, I was supposed to get a newer TV today, but I called and told them to wait until the weather clears. This old one doesn't have the ability to block channels, and after a few minutes people on the screen turn a grayish-green; it actually looked appropriate on Beck (known here as 'skidmark').

3. Turn something on to counteract the filth. How about some kiddie cartoons?
Heck, even porn would be more refreshing.
