All I need is a little ray of sunshine

If Joey Zaza married Zazu Pits her name would be Zazu Zaza. 

I can only think of one thing worse than "The Sunday's" on Sunday, that's having them on a Monday.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you had a glorious end to last year whatever you did to celebrate. Wanda and I were falling asleep in front of the TV around 9:45. We went to bed and woke up just before midnight. I got up, turned on the TV and watched the ball fall in Times Square for what was at least the second time that night. I went back to sleep, waking up early for the Rose Parade and a bunch of college football games.

My brother Allen sent me a New Year message that I loved and want to share with you, it was; May your best day of 2010 be your worst day of 2011. 

Wanda is home today as her boss, Dennis the Dentist and wife are cruising somewhere in the other side of the world. They will be back in a couple of weeks so her schedule is a little spotty until then. This morning we ran a few errands, stopping at Best Buy to check out a new TV.

Can you get "take-backs" on a New Year resolution if  it's only been 72 hours?

Some years ago my thoughts on a new television set were, what can I afford? Now, we had just a few more things to consider, they were:

Should we buy at Best Buy taking advantage of their three years interest free offer?
Should we buy at Costco since they offer a one year extension on the warranty?
Do we buy an LED or an LCD?
A 60Hz refresh rate or a 120Hz refresh rate?
A 40, 42, or 47 inch screen size?
A Samsung?
An LG? or, an "off" brand.
If we get the TV will we want a Blue Ray player or use the DVD player we have?
What about sound? A sound bar? A new "in a box" sound system, or, a new receiver/amp and use the speakers we already have?
If we get a new set will it go in the family room, or the living room? Also, wireless hook up or hard wire?

Of course, almost all of the questions are dependent on other factors, like, what can we afford?

She said, "Do you want to get a burrito?" He heard, "Do you want to go to Reno?"

She said, "Are you going to wear exercise clothes?" He heard, "Are you going to wear extra spy clothes?"

She said, "Do you have a coca cola?" He  heard, "Do you have a crooked colon?"

Once again, welcome to 2011.
