Life In HD

I did it. I don't know what finally possessed me but, after a long time of investigating, fantasizing and fanaticizing about an HDTV, I pulled the trigger on a new set over the weekend. I told Beth that I was going out on an 'errand' but, in all truthfulness there was a 75% chance I was going to come home with a new TV (and she knew it). After several hours of round trips between the local electronics stores and departments, I finally settled in on the set (and the deal) that I thought was best. After playing a little hard to get I walked out of Target of all places with a 37" Phillips HDTV. With a little help from Beth we schlepped the box upstairs and, after sawing the top 3 feet of the old entertainment center, we finally got to kick back and bask in our new widescreen glory.

Target???

Thom doesn't mention that just 7 days earlier I had mesmerized him (and at least amused Beth) with the BBC's Planet Earth and then Finding Nemo on a plasma. A little David Attenborough with a Pixar chaser will convince anybody that their TV is too small and square.
