Woodson News: S-L-O-W D-O-W-N
I sat down at least three times this last week. I mean I sat at a time before I usually sit down at the end of the day, and I fall asleep on the couch and wake up later to find I that I slept through my favorite shows and it’s time to go to bed… Wake up and go to sleep! Too busy!
And off they go...

Finding, identifying, manipulating a remote control is daunting
In a container beside my bed are four remote controls. Each of them has a special job and will not cross over and do the job of the other. Of course, there are two controls for the television, but the “big” control is for the television only… the other is the DirectTV control that brings on the news, shows sports, and cost me about a hundred dollars a month. The other television remote (which is red) controls the source of special entertainment… Netflix, Prime, and such. Remote number four is small, thin, and has no numbers or words. Manipulation of arrows will control the moveable parts of my bed. This is an important remote which is not just for Kings and Princes anymore.
