Nows and Forevers

Eurovision. I’m sorry I missed it this year.

The last two years I have watched the live telecast from here in the United States, both times live updating with my European friends via WhatsApp where the contest went late in to the night but was over around dinner time here on the East Coast.

I even got my kids to watch and root for their favorites. We had fun.

But this year I knew Eurovision was going on and so wanted to see it, but life got in the way. I spent this whole afternoon not in front of the TV or glued to Twitter – I am not doing that anymore – but instead shuttling kids from place to place or spending time with the family. I didn’t even have a spare moment to give to Eurovision, which saddens me.

It’s pretty fun.
