National Commando Day

I slammed the alarm off this morning, blinked a couple times, then reached into the nightstand for today's socks and underwear. The underwear drawer was empty. Guess it's laundry time. I do have more clean underwear stashed elsewhere, so no big deal.

But WAIT! It was a cosmic reminder that today is National Commando Day to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

If you're squeamish about going to the doctor to have your prostate checked, I can provide my amateur services at no charge. It's not clinical or scientific, but it's not about you anyways.

Prostate Awareness

I haven't gotten an anal probe for about 18 months. Due to the pre-cancerous HPV, I'm supposed to get checked every 6 months or sooner. The ass doctor's office was supposed to call with an appointment. They never did, and I just let it slip. It's been combination of denial and a fear of co-pays.

With today being Commando Day for prostate awareness, I called and made an appointment. It's not until October, but at least it's on the calendar.

I'm visiting another doctor on Monday who might be checking my prostate anyway. Being a good student, I probably should bone up for the exam.

Where are my channels 40-59?

Today Comcast channels 40-59 are not working on the main tv connected to the cable box and TiVo. The error message on the screen is "Searching for signal on: Basic Cable in." (Channels 1-39 and 60 to 950-something seem to work fine.)

Channels 40-59 work fine on the non-cable-box TV set (that has digital tv adapter).

I checked all the connections. I powercycled the cable box. I powercycled the TiVo box. I re-established connection with the TiVo service.

Any suggestions?
