I’m in Ohio. This is my vacation? I enjoy it here, hanging with the folks, just watching TV like a lump. My Mom hums a lot. I have a feeling that if she ever stops; we’re all in trouble. I baby-sat my two nephews Saturday night. That was fun. They have something that I lost a long time ago, nonstop energy. It’s a good thing I planned ahead and rented $20 in videos. We also played hide and seek. It’s hard to tell when they’re going to seek with countdowns like, “1, 2, 3, 10, 42, 15, 12, 8, ready or not here I come!” I love those kids! My home theatre saga has come to an end, finally. After the Buy.com letdown, they offered me $20 to come back, Ha; I went to my old stand by,Amazon.com. I found a gift certificate, at www.dvdpricecompare.com, for $50 off a $200 order. Plus they have free shipping. I found a sweet deal. By the way, you too can purchase at Amazon.com, via my DVD page. So, I bought a receiver there and picked up a pair of speakers at a local store. They sounded very good for the price. I’m going to hold off on the 5-speaker theatre thing for now because at my price level, it’s hard to find something great. I hate those stores where a sales guy/woman is on you every five seconds. And I think having that kind of job leads to body odor because two sales guys, one in NJ and one here, stank to the high heavens. May I help you? No thanks. So, that’s it. A pretty good weekend for Ohio.
