Last night I heard the audio for a show through my phone while watching the TV; I felt old. I bought the family a "Roku Streaming Stick" for X'mas - yes, it's like being the last family on the block to have color TV. I gather than the phone and TV are jointly streaming the signal from the servers, but the fact is I wouldn't swear to it because I just don't know much about TV. I do know that in the fifteen years or so since I last had TV service, everything has changed.

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.
