A vase from the Ming Dynasty? a Rembrandt painting? the Holy Grail?
No, this was much more important.
Should I die now it would take a crowbar to pry my television remote control from my cold, dead hand.

Finally, after all this time I had it in my possession. It was priceless. The most precious and valuable object I have ever held was now in my control, resting in my right hand. I would not release it for love or any amount of money. To grasp it in my hand and feel the immeasurable power it gave me was indescribable.

The insidious addiction of television is powerful

Yes Greg, some would say it is too powerful.

I did see it coming, Doug, But I didn't trust my intuition, convinced that it had to be a religious relic. Refreshing to see that you are not.
Doug

Thank you Candace. I'll take that as a compliment.

Funny story Doug, I was surprised to find out what possession the death grip was on. I see a warning here; “Be careful not to allow your possessions to possess you!”

the remote is held in great reverence. Coming in a close second to losing the remote is dropping it on the floor and breaking it. Fun tale Doug.
