Escaping, Just for a Moment

Do you ever have crazy thoughts run through your head, while your watching a crime drama?
You know, the cool car, cool toys and think
"I could do that".
Yeah, I’ll become a detective, or a crime fighter.
Why not? What’s stopping me?

Then you stop eating your tortilla chips and look around. Your eighteen year old cat just threw up a hairball in the corner of the room. Mr. Potato Head stares at you from the coffee table and you remember.
You remember you’re a 48 year old mother of a 4 year old with a pet sitting business. So, probably not cool enough.

But for a brief moment, the TV did what it’s supposed to do. Provide a temporary escape from the mundane everyday world around you.
So to "Burn Notice", "Leverage", "In Plain Sight" and others, thank you. Thank you for that moment.

I keep seeing the ads for Leverage, but keep missing it. Think I will see if I can catch past episodes on hulu and then DVR the new ones. Then I don't have to remember, the machine will do it for me!
