Conundrum: How do we watch football when we cut cable to save cash as new parents? Our Answer: We’ll just stick to the games on public TV. Our Reality: Saturday, Chris and I sat on the couch to watch the publicly broadcasted Kentucky-Florida game.  I’d rather be watching Ole Miss, and Chris would rather be … Continue reading
