Cashel does not have cable. So there’s THAT. So – over the past year or so, his main entertainment has been watching documentaries, ordered over Netflix. He’s watched millions of them. I remember going up there this past spring, and he was babbling to us about “cro-magnon man” and “woolly mammoths” like an expert. He put me straight on a couple of my own misconceptions. It’s hilarious.<\/p>\n
The documentary topics have a wide range. Outer space, animals, history, geology … you name it.<\/p>\n
So recently, he was at my parents house. My dad was sitting on the couch, watching TV, and Cashel was catapulting about the room, in his normal fashion, shooting imaginary laser guns, and battling off dark-force Jedi knights. But then he turned, and looked at the TV.<\/p>\n
My dad was flicking through the channels, surfing, and he stopped, briefly, on one channel – probably the History Channel, or PBS or something … On the TV-screen, there was a Renaissance-era painting of a man … and there was a voice-over droning on … That was ALL that was seen before my dad flipped onwards.<\/p>\n
Cashel, seeing just that one snippet, rolled his eyes, and said in a bored over-it voice, “The Medici popes.”<\/p>\n
Then he went back into Jedi land.<\/p>\n
Heh heh heh<\/p>\n
