Taps, Hats Off, and Appreciation

I'm still trying to get settled after my cross-country move. The movers came yesterday, but fitting the stuff back into the house it came out of was like giving birth in reverse. Why is it that "stuff" expands to fill the available space. Three addition pieces of furniture threw six rooms into chaos. Now that whole Feng Shui thing is screwed up and I'll probably have to buy something else to get it fixed.

Additionally, the television doesn't work. I guess I can't complain. I bought it in May of 1990. It moved with me on 5 changes of station in those 15 years. 3 trans-Atlantic moves and 2 transcontinental.

I will not be filing a claim against the movers. Somehow I think they had nothing to do with it. It was a great piece of equipment, But 15 years is a long time and it never required a bit of maintenance or service during those years. "Hats off" to Hitachi. And a moment of silence for a dead "Road Warrior."

Also wanted to express appreciation to those of you that have been stopping by even though I haven't been posting. I'm dealing with new challenges and trying to grapple some alligators that have been living in the sewer. I should be a little more prolific before to long.

As for this morning, I'm off to Best Buy to look at TVs.

Hoo-Hah!
