I bought a new TV today. After some searching in both the brick-and-mortar and online realms, I discovered that regular old "tube" TV's are a "dead technology," in the words of the immortal Andy Stitzer. I really didn't want to shell out the big bucks for an LCD unit, but I decided that it'd be a better investment. I knew that the picture quality was vastly superior, after having been spoiled on J. Raymond's 52" 1080p screen. I went much smaller for myself - half the size and two-thirds the resolution, to be precise. I bought a Samsung on clearance from Bernie's in Waterford, and since it was unboxed, I was very careful on the drive back to the New Nexus of Hate. I was at least able to watch some DVDs on it this evening; the cable guy doesn't come to install my TV and internet hookup until tomorrow.

You are here... and you are home.
May 1996. My high school band took a trip to Toronto. (We could do such things without passports back then.) The outbound leg of that trip…
