Downton Abbey: Season Three

It's been nearly a year since I last had cable television. At first, I thought that there would be no way I'd be able to survive. Not only have I not missed it as much as I'd anticipated, but not being subjected to repeated showings of "Dazed & Confused" freed me to catch up on other things in my life; reading and old friendships, for instance. But, as much as I love to read, there are still a few television shows that I greatly enjoy. (On any given day I can go for a "Law & Order" marathon) 

With much anticipation, tomorrow marks the return of one of the best serials I've seen in years: PBS's Downton Abbey - Season Three. While America may have missed out on a supposed 12 million jobs (?), by not having elected Mitt Romney, we were able to keep PBS & Big Bird. I think that's a fairly good trade-off, don't you?
It was announced this past September that PBS's Masterpiece Theatre is now being sponsored, in part by, none other than the Ralph Lauren Corporation. Which, of course, makes total sense; a perfect marriage of quality and style. And with the addition of Shirley MacLaine, as the Countess of Grantham's mother, coming to Downton (if for no other reason than to provide brilliant verbal fisticuffs with the Dowager Countess of Grantham) this should be the best season yet. I can't wait.

    I was born in the country, but brought up in the big city, with hopes of always maintaining the charm, wit and character of a southern,      sophisticated
    gentleman. In my goal to live more  passionately & purposefully, here are just a few things  that  I've  learned and experienced along the way, making my journey more interesting, and more importantly, easier.
