There are no Joes around tonight. Louise and I (OLGS) combine the best of 1961 and 2008 technology for a night at our make-shift home theater. The 1961 element is a huge eight feet-by-eight feet movie screen that drops from the ceiling. The owner of the house in 1961 must have installed it for showing slides of vacations or maybe Super8 home movies. Whatever. We use it for watching movies, too, but not Super8s. We use a digital projector to display DVDs on the big screen. Combined with a bunch of speakers that Joe College set up for us, we have our own home theater. Oh, and there is another 1961-era element to the home theater: a “LazyBoy” recliner that Joe College picked up out of some Minneapolis alley. It’s surprisingly comfy and Louise stretches out with her feet up, while Mitzi sits in Louise's lap and purrs.
Tonight, we are finishing up Season Two of “The Wire.” It looks like "Stringer" Bell is trying to supercede Avon Barksdale while the latter is behind bars. Back to the LazyBoy!
