Face it.... our parents are getting old. With that, sometimes technology pass them by (Wanda loves her dial-up if that says anything). Most of the time this does not bother them at all. Watching BETA movies on their 1984 Zenith encased in fake maple cabinetry is considered Friday night entertainment, served with Jiffy Pop and all. Remote!? Pppsssstt... who needs a remote; just turn the metal knobs if you want to watch something different. Well, I guess the government issued warning of discontinuing analog TV was enough to scare them into the 21st century.
This weekend, life as my father-in-law knew it changed forever (with a little help from Ethan.)
Fred and Wanda decided to buy a TV. Not just any TV mind you, but a 46 inch Samsung LCD. To be honest, I'm a hair jealous. This piece of technology is teeming with everything modern... 1080P HD, 35000:1 ratio. It will order you a pizza if you so desire. Bottom-line, it's brilliant. We all should be so lucky.
The only thing unlucky... the 8 hours it took us to wire outlets and surround sound. It was well worth the effort, especially the free lunch and dinner.

Welcome to the 21st century!!! Although, I really can't talk, we still have a box television that require fans to keep it cool.
