Texas in Bombay

Just in the nick of time, Sam has brilliantly discovered a way to stream live television programming onto our TV here, so we got to watch the Longhorns edge out the Sooners after a trip to Zenzi.  Bombay and Texas, all in one night!  The world gets smaller every day.

The pixelation and slightly uneven streaming did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm, though we sometimes had to wait in momentary agony for the announcers to tell us whether the kicks were good, or whether that pass was incomplete.

We had to crank up the volume pretty high, as Divali fireworks were exploding right outside the window of our 9th floor apartment.  We laughed at the thought of us a year from now.  We’ll be like those people who reminisce about silent films and black & white TV.  “Remember when we couldn’t even watch the Longhorns play all season??  Back in the Dark Ages!”
