Oh, no, not again.

    I had to watch Jeopardy in the living room, and therefore had to postpone my cycling, because the TV in the room with  the exercise bike is stuck on Channel 13. So after Jeopardy was over, I repaired to the room to cycle away, usually for about half an hour.. That hardly counts as exercise,  but it's what I do now.
   Anyway, I find it almost impossible to cycle away even for half an hour without watching TV. And what is on the available Channel 13, but a Pentatonix Christmas. Egad.  I think it's a repeat because I remember turning it off before, but now I'm pretty much a captive audience.
     So bizarre:  they're singing Hallelujah while dishing out food in a cafeteria setting, ostensibly, or so I perceived, to homeless or needy people.  Why they chose that song I can't even imagine. Praising the Lord, I suppose, but what's that song got to do with it. At least they're not children, but I think Leonard Cohen would expect the song be sung by an individual, not a group.
      At the end of the song, and the show, I had to cut my cycling time a little short: I was only at 5 miles, instead of my usual minimum of 7 miles, but the next program was that kid with the puppet. Egad to the nth.
