I'm absolutely fine - thanks for all the concern! The fire was mainly confined to the electrical junction boxes etc and I only had smoke damage in the house (otherwise I probably wouldn't have made a joke about it!) I lost power, phone and water for a couple of days but I'm up and running again, now. A little too much excitement at the time and my worst regret is that, despite 3 fire engines, two police cars and lots of men in uniform, not one of them looked like Denis Leary or Daniel whtasisname from Rescue Me! Two forensics guys turned up on Monday but no Mac or Danny lookalikes for me - shame! Perhaps it was just the thought of Gary or the latest M/D fic I ws writing that caused spontaneous combustion, lol!
I'm not sure if the History channel is the same - mine is Directv and I think cable carry the same programs but not necessarily at the same time. Sorry I can't help more with that.
Mission to Mars was on yesterday but I didn't discover it in time to give you all a heads up! I love the ending of that movie . . .
