Where's the Justice?

Last weekend, being the history junkie that I am, I stumbled upon the free HBO weekend and landed face first in the John Adams mini-series.

Personally, I landed in heaven.

Here they all were: Tom, Ben, George, John and a cast of thousands, including Abigail. The Boston Massacre and John defending those British soldiers. Abigail reading that summation (as the wife of a lawyer, I can't tell you how many times I have listened to summations and watched LawyerBoy pace back and forth being, well....LawyerBoy. The Boston Tea Party, the Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence... John Adams in Paris, trying desparately to get the French on board and not knowing how to be diplomatic; John sending John Quincy off to Russia; I mean I looked around here and said something about getting a summer job or I'd have to pack the lot of you off, too.

Anyway, I digress.

I thought that I would be able to do without the rest of Johnny and the gang but as the time has inched closer and closer to that bewitching hour - tonight, they put the government into place, for heaven's sake - I have become a fanatic.

So, I called the cable company. In the past, I have always dealt with the fools at the cable company. Fought over the bill, ordered up some wireless: you get the drill. Tonight, Heather told me she'd be happy to help, but was LawyerBoy available.

Nope. LawyerBoy is at the lawyerboy office doing something suitably lawyerboyish.

So sad, too bad. Heather told me that if I could just have him confirm that I had his approval - because you know, in the past, so many bad people have just messed around with other people's cable services- she could push the HBO button for me and I'd be all set. BUT, and that's a big but, without my man, well, there wasn't anything she could do for me.

I guess I'll have to go get my copy of John Adams and read what I'm missing. It is hardly Paul Giamatti and Laura Linley, though. Because they are acting their revolutionary butts off. And as soon as I contact my attorney, I'm going to see what I've been missing.
