CNN, Y&R and B&B seem to have taken over this retired couples life.   Trumps stupidity keeps our attention and the news channels help calm our nerves as they try to bring to light his lies and self serving manipulations of our country.

The soaps draw us in and keep us interested with their writers daydreams of made up stories televised to originally sell soap.  Now  selling all products to anyone watching unending commercials, which drag out the drama to days, weeks, months and years.  And we watch out of boredom, cold days of staying in or in anticipation of the next unbelievable episode.

Have we become couch potatoes? Or just an ordinary retired couple trying to keep up with life and the psychology of people living life like the stars on the soaps, until the snow melts, the air warms and golf season begins?
