I love it when this happens. Yesterday evening the little girls watched a DVD. Sarah had a difficult time making it all work, as the system is quite complicated. Suzanne played the part of the Fairy godmother and made everything work properly. I was too tired to write my little web log at bedtime, so did not turn on the computer and the Internet. This morning, as is his custom, Ken sat down to look at the weather channel. The TV would not work. He thought that the girls somehow pushed the wrong buttons, but despite reading the directions, the cable TV would not work. He asked Suzanne to see what she did to make it work last night, but to no avail. He asked Sarah to try and fix it, as she is 10 and technically proficient. Nothing was working. Just a blank screen.
Then light dawned in Kens mind. Our credit card has changed for Canada, and the old automatic payment was one month over-due. Ken forgot to alert the company of the new card number, so of course, the computer automatically, at the company, turned off our cable TV for non payment of fees. Can you believe it. Not a problem of the girls pushing buttons. Not Suzanne turning off the wrong machine. Just a simple fact of an unpaid bill. Now is the best part. The modern world is wonderful. Ken phoned the company and gave them the new number on a recording, and now the system is working. Now we must tell the little girls that it was not their fault. It is so nice when it is not my problem.

This is not really a comment on that blog entry, but I want to wish you a wonderful 50th anniversary. I'm celebrating with you through your blog and feel left out when you don't write - although I certainly understand that you have your hands full.
