Can I ever go back?

So, last weekend, my 10-ish year old panasonic 27" CRT tv died (does that seem like a short life for a TV to anybody else)...

Now, I don't watch as much tv as I used to - crap, back in my youth, I can remember coming home from school and watching loads and loads of TV - it might start with the Phil Donaghue show, or Star Blazers, battlestar gallactica, and end with the Late Show with David Letterman...

whoa, that's a fair bit of tv, eh? d'oh!!!

So, I didn't do much research on the new TV I purchased last weekend... My approach was pretty much, "let's go to Costco and buy a tv...". so, we went to costco, looked at some tv's and plunked down too much cash for the lcd vizio we are the owners of now.

I dig NASCAR, a sport I grew to love during my years in Virginia...



I am currently watching my first NASCAR race on ESPNHD (racing at pocono, nonetheless!) - yeah, that'd be the special HD TV flavor of ESPN. It's pretty crazy to flip back and forth between ESPN and ESPNHD -> there's not really a comparison in terms of picture quality. I wonder if they do that on purpose? y'know, to limit "buyer's remorse" and whatnot...

but really, the feeling I have now is kind of like the feeling I had when I made the leap from a dialup internet connection to a cable modem...

y'know, "can I ever go back?"

Nah, I don't think it is possible -> NASCAR on the HD format is pretty awesome! :-)

With 15 to go, I say "go mark martin" you and your "steak-umm" chevrolet will fit in quite well with my fond memories of years past -> y'know, phil donaghue, star blazers, battlestar gallactica, and whatnot!

mmmmm, steak-ummm sandwiches and "kudos" brand granolo bars rock! :-)
