Digital TV Conversion

[WARNING: Mommy and/or Daddy's editorial rant]

So, is it starting today that we stop seeing all of those annoying announcements about the switch to digital TV? And, all of the 'breaking news crawls' about the "countdown to the conversion" on the bottom of the screen. And, watching the local news people report about it day after day. It went on for a over year -pure madness.

Two thoughts:

1. Everyone could have been spared the conversion craziness if NASA had just sent a team of specialists to spend a week explaining the switch (in person) to each of the 37 people in the US that don't have cable or satellite TV.

2. A missed opportunity to make a billion dollars: If someone would have invented a converter box to convert all of those messages into Gregorian chant videos (or anything else).

After months of hard work, Davis has successfully converted his analog TV antennae to receive a digital signal (and he's a little rattled from listening to [Mommy and/or Daddy] rant).

欢乐中国的明天!

How about having Chinese food tomorrow?      Great! December 13th is Chinese Tomorrow! What is Chinese Tomorrow? When families get together for Chinese food and celebrate everything that is 'put-off' until tomorrow.   Here are a few rules: Everyone wears black (the actual day 'tomorrow' is dark & never sees a sunrise) Celebrate things that are put-off until tomorrow (find joy in those normally unpleasant procrastinations) Choose just one person to open a single fortune cookie (everyone else must wait until tomorrow ) Blog about it (post the fortune's lucky numbers as the title) Enjoy the great food! (Chinese food buffets are the best!)  欢乐中国的明天!

Happy New Year!
