TV or Not TV that is the question..


Super Bowl Parties, Super Bowl Fun, Super Bowl invites, Super Bowl Blowouts. Well, we were invited to a Super Bowl Party hosted by our son and daughter-in-law yesterday. The occassion was made even more "special" because it was the introduction of their new 52" flat screen TV, which was mounted on the wall.
Wow! Me of the blurry vision, have to sit 24" from the TV to see anything was really impressed. High Definition, Webster's Definition, 3D, HTV you name it, it was! Surround sound from a speaker in each corner of the room, it was like being in a crowd. The sound was so clear, and the picture........was still blurry! What a waste of perfectly good entertainment on me.
Anyway, I am so looking forward to having the surgery so I can tell the yellow players from the red players, and not see double of everything.
We came home at a reasonable hour (I really had only gone for the food...no surprise there) and got into my PJ's and sat down on the couch to watch whatever and lo and behold, our console had shrunk! No, seriously, it had shrunk. Now the fact that we have the console which was a big deal at the time, as it was not only state of the art, but a 25th wedding anniversary gift from our son (the new owner of the 52" monster) and still works fine, more or less, looked like it was made of 100% wool, and I had put it in the dryer on "hot" for an hour. I literally could barely see it!
Thanks kids for expanding my world and thowing water on it at the same time!
Tune in after the surgery to see the miracle of sight!
