DVD Fish Tank
This “fish tank on your TV” product is kind of interesting, but it’s really the advertising that has me mesmerized for some reason.

Spending more time around the house these days (working from home) certainly offers a different life experience than what I was familiar with driving to an office every day. One thing that I’ve noticed since our move into the new house is that this house makes completely different sounds than the old house did. While being home for many full days now, I’ve had more time to experience these sounds fully.
The most pronounced sound comes more with winter than with staying home every day. Our heater, a heat pump, runs very often these days. The sound is strangely loud. It’s louder than my computer, which you’ll realize is saying something had you ever been near my computer to hear it. It vibrates everything, and I think that perhaps it is in need of service. It’s even loud outside where the radiator is. It’s weird, but it’s not the strangest sound in the cacophony.
That time of year is upon us. Walking into Stadium Grille today, I had to convince myself that the white flakes that were falling from the sky were late season milkweed and not that other white stuff of which we won’t speak.
I keep asking Abby what she wants for Christmas periodically to see kf she’ll give me an answer other than the perpetual and impossible to obtain Baby Alive, a doll with giant eyes that eats, drinks, and performs other, um, interesting functions. If only Abby wanted some thing we’d already managed to obtain, or even something that wasn’t selling for twice its retail price on eBay.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to hang them? What a fiasco.
At first we didn’t know how our new neighborhood would decorate. Would they decorate conservatively or would they trow lights on top of everything? Well, after the last couple weeks of warmer weather, everyone had plenty of time to put up whatever lights they wanted, and we’ve been left with a display that is not conservative, but also doesn’t consist of multiple lighted, moving, and sound-producing lawn creatures.
One of the more interesting “perks” of working from home is that I get to take Abby to Kindergarten in the early afternoon.
Just around lunch time we start our procession. Actually, the most painless part of the production is getting Abby ready, which one might expect to be the most difficult part of the process. Abby is actually very helpful in the process, and has yet to complain about going to school. Give her a year or two, right?
