The Desert of My Dreams

I canceled cable. Specifically, I canceled my TV service through Comcast. Since moving to California, I’ve gone through 4 or 5 set-top boxes. Every time this happens, I have to unplug my old box, go to the Comcast service center (mind you making sure that I get there before they close), wait […]
