When I rolled my cable back to the super-basic-12-real-channels-and-13-government-access-ones package after the Twolves' playoff exit, I always figured I'd end up bumping it back to 'standard' once the Tour de France started so I could see the coverage on OLN. Well, the race started last week and I'm still waiting for my service to be 'upgraded'. And don't think I just called this morning or something, I called 2 DAYS in advance of the race. But I guess they have to come out to the pole or something, so whatever, that'll happen on Friday between 12 and 4 and I will do a little happy dance when it does.

In the meantime I've been stuck listening to the audio feeds over the web. A bunch of us at the office normally do that anyway, but it's not the same when you can't come home and watch the replay at night. *sigh* Big ups to Colin for taping the cobbles section from yesterday's stage and bringing it in for me. Now if I could just find my VCR I'd watch it over and over again.

To be fair, I did catch the prologue at Libby's parent's house while we were down in Rochester last Saturday. Her mom declared it "more boring than golf". For proof she added, "Look, they're just showing that guys butt as he peddles! That's stupid!"

I'd never really thought of it that way.
