In many of my articles I have mentioned that I don't watch tv, and haven't since 1987. Some people have written me and have accused me of doing a self-righteous act in mentioning that. Some have scolded me for inflicting my children with a 'goody two-shoes, forced piety'. Still others actually accuse me of lying, saying that 'everybody watches tv'. Well I don't. And let me qualify that my wife and I do enjoy watching DVDs of all sorts of movies occasionally. And we like some YouTube and some stuff on Netflix as well. We just don't do network stuff. [Author's Note: My favorite show on Netflix is "BlueBloods". I highly recommend that show. It is a STRONG show centered on a STRONG family with STRONG family values. All the actors on that excellent program are perfect for the characters they play, and are themselves excellent actors. Nevertheless, one of my all-time favorite entertainment personalities is the program's star, Tom Selleck. In further fact, I am a professional portrait artist, and years ago I did a big portrait for Tom. It was a graphite piece, larger-than-life size, of the character that Tom played in what was at the time his favorite movie, "Quigley Down Under". Often, while my wife and I are enjoying the program, I will pause it, look over at her and say, "Did I ever tell you about the time I did a portrait for Mr. Selleck? And have I told you how much he enjoyed that?" And her awestruck answer, after she rolls her eyes, is usually something like, "I don't remember, Mr. Humility. Will you please shut up and let me watch this?"]
