I got home from New Orleans a week ago.  The kids were alive and well, the house was standing--it was even clean!  Everything was good.  Then I noticed that Zack's X-box was hooked up to the square tv. 

"Hey, why is your xbox up here...? Oh, don't tell me the big tv is broken too?"

We have two large, wide screen hidef tvs. Now, it's certainly true that hi-tech toys occassionally need repairs but what are the odds that both of them would go on the fritz at the same time?

Whatever the odds, we hit the jackpot.  So, for a week we had two enormous, sleek, black paperweights and we had to watch the American Idol finale and several games of the NBA playoffs on old fashioned, square tv. 

Square tv!  What next?  I'll be hanging my clothes out on the line and listening to Lps while using a rotary telephone?  What are we, barbarians??!

It was almost as bad as the time our sewer backed up and we had to use chamber pots for three days!  The only reason the Great Plumbing Appreciation Experience was worse was that it happened in January.

The service technician came today and fixed both tv's.  My advice; always buy the service contract!

It is with great joy that I rejoin the twenty first century.
