No Dick Button!

When it comes to entertainment, there aren’t very many advantages of living in Vermont. Some movies never make it here, the shopping is pretty poor, we get few major concerts, etc.

But I get to watch Canadian television. Which means I just saw the women’s free skate. Live! Without Dick Button!

CBC broadcast the final 18 skaters, straight, uninterrupted by curling, bobsled or hockey. I didn’t see all of it, (did see the last eight skaters) but have it all on tape to enjoy later. (And I will send the tape out if someone would like it, and can make copies, too. Hint hint -- that means you, hollywdliz )

I won’t spoil anyone, not even behind a cut. Thoughts will come later.

I can take him in small doses. He is amusing, but a whole evening of him talking on and on is distracting. Scott Hamilton's high voice is a little grating, too. The best part of the Canadian coverage -- in addition to it being live -- is that it's uninterrupted.
