I should read more, but these days I've lost the attention span (has to do with being interrupted every five minutes by toddlers in need of attention). And this really is (especially on some of the cable networks) a golden age of television. There is some great storytelling going on in the medium.Kurt Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114016986246591892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057482344224014823.post-53841239256306971842015-03-31T04:02:15.595-04:002015-03-31T04:02:15.595-04:00and pop culture (my shallow side).
