Cut the Cable

Happy New Year!

If you have decided to save significant money in 2015 - about $100 per month - read on... 

As many of you know, I am a former television writer/producer and an incurable news junkie, so this was not a decision I made lightly.  But a monthly cable/phone/internet bill that approached $300 was enough to spur me to explore the alternatives.

In my old apartment I had Verizon's FIOS and loved it. After years of TimeWarner unreliability, I was thrilled when FIOS finally was available in my old neighborhood on the Upper East Side.  I think I was the first one to sign up for the service and when they finally got it right, I was very happy.

Then I moved to my new apartment in Washington Heights and FIOS was not available.  Instead of going back to TimeWarnerCable, I decided it was time to take the plunge.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

First, I have to brag a little.  My dog Cookie was featured earlier this year in a great article in DNA Info, a

Cookie

site that covers local issues on Manhattan's East Side.  I am so embarrassed to say it took me this long to figure out how to get it into my blog!
I am a member of Community Board 8, an advisory board to the Manhattan Borough President.  I guess you could say Cookie is an honorary member!   Take a look at this article and then I'll get to the surprise...
