I was TV-less for many years, and I don't think I missed much. I did read more. Now I have a TV and basic cable, and I enjoy watching a few shows a week. But I have to be careful, otherwise I'll end up spending six hours in rapt attention to all those Law and Order episodes that I missed the first time around.

I keep my TV (it's small) in the closet and drag it out for shows I want to watch. If it's out all the time, it's sometimes too easy to just turn it on. I didn't grow up with a TV, so I can't just have it as background like some folks can. If it's on, I can't do anything else.

There's plenty to keep you busy in the country. Will you have a garden? I can spend hours in my garden. If you have any garden questions, ask me here or in a PM, as I've been gardening for years. It's good exercise, especially when you incorporate lifting of things and building and turning compost.
