One of the bennies of life in the OFH is cable TV. It's a decent package offering myriad channels I never us. It does give me access to many basketball games which I enjoy. My basketball team de jour is the University of Minnesota Women's team. They played a game yesterday which was broadcast on BTN, which is a channel I can access, consequently I could have watched the game live, but I didn't. Why not?
One of the realizations of my life in dotage is that I don't enjoy anxiety. A second awareness is that I over invest in my chosen athletic team. Subscription to BTN+ allows me to replay games at my leisure. In yesterday's game the Gopher women had a poor first quarter being outscored by ten points. Were I watching live that weak start would have aroused anxiety, which I don't need. Knowing that they won, when I watched the replay today, it was, "not to worry, they'll prevail". Then, too, on replay I can either review a play or fast forward as desired.
Minnesota defeated Wisconsin 83-60, winning their 8th game is a row.
"The phrase "the proof is in the pudding" originates from a 14th-century British proverb, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating," which means the quality of something can only be determined by testing or experiencing it directly. Historically, "pudding" referred to savory meat-filled sausages, not desserts, which were difficult to judge until eaten." Internet
