Sunday night Mark and the boys watched at two-part Star Trek episode off of Netflix.
Between the episodes Matt said, "Dad, it bet it was torture to have to wait a whole week before you got to see the next show."
Just wait until we tell him about having to wait to use the computer until someone was off the phone. Or not knowing who was calling until you answered the phone. Or having to wait until the movie was at the movie store to go and then trying to rush to beat the crowd to get one of the only five copies.
What else am I leaving out? :)
