This just in: New TV makes life worth living

For Josh's birthday, I bought him half of the lovely new TV pictured here and he graciously threw in on the other half. Since our old TV was a present on his 19th birthday, and he turned 29 this weekend, this new one is much deserved. Not only are we moving from a 19 inch screen to a glorious 27 inches, but we also now receive more than just Fox on our TV. And since it somehow picks up digital signals through the antenna (I don't understand technology) we have inherited an additional PBS. Two PBS's! Awesome! Still no cable, but enlarging our selection from one channel to eight will really make a difference when NASCAR is on Fox and we want to watch TV while we eat.

Folks, bad movie nights will now be eight inches bigger!

Other birthday weekend events included Josh drinking half a carafe of wine at fancy Italian dinner, eating a hamburger carefully constructed out of marshmallow, bringing home a bowling trophy, and living both Dream A and Dream B.

I think it is safe to say that birthday weekend 2006 was a success...

[And does anyone in Austin want a free 10 year old 19" TV that only gets Fox? I swear that it is better than it sounds, and we would even throw in the modulator thingie that lets you hook it up to your DVD player. Everyone needs an extra TV for watching movies, right?]
