Subject: RE: BS: June'10 Declutter & Exercise Accountability
I wouldn't dare set up something like that around the dogs. I'm afraid they'd play and tear it up. If you're describing one of those kind of tents with mosquito siding so you can see through them. Very nice.

I received an email today that the new television shipped. I can't tell you how nice this will be--I have recently realized that part of the reason I haven't watched a lot of the movies I'd like to is because we have all of these various sets around the house, but they're all quite small and with different playback systems. Because I prefer the "letterbox" format, I end up with movies playing on the middle 1/2 of the screen, and though more of the picture is there, it is quite small.

If I set a movie up to play on this new one, formatted for HD, I can see it from three rooms and can work in any of them and watch at the same time (I'll eventually upgrade the DVD to blue-ray and probably find a newer stereo receiver at a garage sale one of these days). My old habit of treating it more like radio, but actually being able to see what is going on when I look at it will kick back into gear.

Son is at a senior event at school. He went in jeans and a band (Rush, I think) t-shirt that have been off limits all year. No more school uniforms. Tomorrow is graduation.

For 16 years I've been getting up in time to take kids to school because the school district demanded it. After tomorrow, that is over. It'll be interesting.
