The trip to OSU was long very long. The weather was horrendous making travel even worse. The meet itself was very uneventful. There were some great times and it was interesting to see some of the higher level athletes in the sport in both swimming and diving.
When I got back Shellie had a little surprise. A HDtv. How great is she, honestly. We had been discussing getting a new tv, as I had bestbuy gift cards and gift cerificates from the previous years. Well a lot actually, and we didn't think we should spend a ton of money on birthdays and christmas and ... over the next 2 months. Anyway, how awesome is she. It's a Westinghouse 32 inch LCD. I had read the reviews and obviously wasn't looking at a 1080p tv due to the finance. I guess all that time that I'm talking about technology and I think she is doing something else, she was actually listening. It is simply put, amazing. We currently have about 9 HD channels, don't ask me how, but we do for the time being and they look amazing. It's hard to explain. Shellie is pretty close to being a bat (as in the mammal) in terms of sight and even she says it's like night and day. The best quality thus far is PBS highdef channel. Comparing the HD Late Night w/ Letterman to Standard Letterman was nuts.
So in the end, that horrible trip turned out to be a happy ending. Now if every trip turned out like this, I would be in technology heaven.
