She complained for a few weeks about the boyfriend thinking he needed an HDTV (I supported him, of course) and how that was just too far down the list of priorities for spending money. Uh-huh. Then she came over and saw my new one. Their HDTV arrives tomorrow, an LG: That's Chinese, you know. I know. (She didn't.)

She and I are doing Big Brother this summer. Pretty ridiculous at our age, but it's still fun. I watch some of the Showtime late night and she reads the forums, then we compare notes.

I guess any one of these typings could be the last, you never know. Most blogs just quit. This one won't do that. Well, unless that is, indeed, that. Rick Macherat
