Now, I think, I'm much more able to take the occasional small pleasures from it and set aside all of the stuff that frustrates me with it. That was most definitely not always the case. It isn't that many years ago yet that I pretty much watched, read, talked, or wrote about it seven days a week.

It's odd in a way, I think (although I don't know that I've ever thought about it this way before now) there's something similar about wrestling fans & baseball fans. Specifically, the way we remember minor or middling characters and the way those take us back through parts of our life.
