Start the Clock

We went to an unfinished furniture store today and ordered a new oak TV stand for our living room. Pattie will stain this to match the other furniture, in between dancing jigs about the demise of our existing entertainment center, which she has wanted to obliterate for the last four years.

The trick now is to see how long we go before I convince myself that we need a new TV to go with the new TV stand.
