Two very nice (and very punctual) technicians from
Display Systems, Inc. came over this afternoon to replace the projection lamp in our big-screen TV, which burns out every few years depending on how addicted you are to Turner Classic Movies. Today was a much better
— and much cheaper — experience than last time this happened, when the store that sold us our TV sent over an arrogant slob who showed up eight hours late and charged nearly $500 for a $140 part that took less than five minutes to install. I wrote a complaint letter to the company’s home office and they refunded the entire cost. (I write the world’s best complaint letters.
Ask Sam if you think I’m kidding.)
Apparently our neighbors to the north are getting their carpets cleaned today. Normally I wouldn’t give a crap about this except for the
last three hours there’s been an orange Stanley Steemer van on their driveway (see sample van, below) running a generator that sounds like a Lufthansa 747 waiting for takeoff. I’m crabby, the whole house is vibrating, I’ve got a migraine and I don’t think
anything would cheer me up right now ... and that includes pizza, halva or a Ronald Colman movie.
Doing anything exciting on Turkey Day? After we pick up our annual feast from Boston Market at 1:30 Sam and I will watch the Cowboys/Dolphins game at 3:15 on CBS ... providing we can stay awake long enough. This sounds pretty perfect to
me.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Howdygram! Please feel free to send your leftovers via
email. We promise to take good care of them.
