I took out a loan without my wife knowing(As an early New Year's resolution, I decided to tell her after the holidays) and ordered the new Meadowlark Osprey.I also bought a used integrated amp for the bedroom system,a used Shunyata Python for the main system, and some Stealth PGS ic's for the main system.To try to cushion the blow I bought my wife for Christmas a new Alvarez classical guitar with fancy hard case, a pair of 1 carat champagne diamond studs,and a LCD color T.V.( also a new Hoover vacuum cleaner,but we can't call that a gift because of Chauvinistic insinuations).I'll probably buy a big block of cheese to put on the mantle for Santa so on Christmas morning I can declare. " AHHHH, the power of cheese..." I feel I'm in for a great Christmas holiday. Anyone need a roommate after New Year's Day ? Merry Christmas to all...
And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas?
There is a scene in the old TV series "Home Improvement" where Jill asks Tim to build a home office for her in the attic. Tim replies with an evil grin "Don't tease me unless you really mean it. Arh, arh, arh."
Such was the case when my wife asked for a TV for Christmas. She just wanted something to watch when I'm watching a football game or a shoot 'em up in the den and our son is playing video games in the living room.
Of course we couldn't JUST get a TV. She needed a satellite receiver to get her favorite channels, a dvd player to watch chick flicks and view the Kodak picture disks. And of course a VCR to watch our old videos. It had to be simple and easy to use. Decent TV picture around 27", but no home theater. (Fresh memories of our son's system in the living room.) The stand needed to blend in well with our Cherry wood bedroom furniture. And it had to come in at $500 or less. (Aw c'mon honey, I have interconnects that cost more than that. Oops...)
Before I tell you what I did, you tell me. What would you have done? :o)
