OK, But The Picture Was Great ...

... Even if the game sucked...

The first – and perhaps only – purchase in the post-move era was a 42-inch Hitachi Ultravision plasma television. You've seen the ad:

Cool Hitachi Ad

Bright House was here, uhm, bright and early Saturday to hook up the cable and the WiFi (they hook up the phone next weekend) and gave us a hand hooking up the new television. As a result, the Bears LOOKED good in HD even if they looked bad in reality.

Rex: I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball (with props to Ty Webb).

Total monthly savings with Brighthouse vs. Comcast/SBC/Ameritech: $125. In a year, that almost pays for the Hitachi (OK, 15 months. But, still, I needed it).

The house is about half-way put together (Mary is doing great!). We're setting up a guest bedroom with an Elvis theme and we'll have a home office featuring some of the best Bears memorabilia. The master bedroom is nice and we are both in love with the master bathroom: double vanity, HUGE shower, HUGE closet.

Louie is adjusting. He hid most of Saturday and then came out at night to watch HBO boxing with us. He took his rightful place in bed: On his "blankie."

All is well in his world...

More later!
