Life on this planet nearly came to a grinding halt this morning when the cable appeared to be down at 94-year-old-Grandfather's house in North Carolina. In mere seconds, the sinking feeling of an impending disaster was given life by the possibility of missed episodes of Jerry Springer, Maury Povich and Tyra Banks.
Moments after she dialed a panicked phone call to Parents in Florida, the caretaker realized that hitting the "input" button on the remote provided the anecdote.
The near-tragedy was as real and in-your-face as the shows themselves. But in seconds, like magic, that pit of terror was replaced with relief. Aaaah, there is goodness in this world.
The remote is the giver and taker of life...and the herald of all emergencies and emergency operators.
