Dining room

The dining room is shaping up nicely... Now that the air hockey table, which no one used, is gone.

My friend Bart is getting a 46" LCD HDTV, which is cool for him. I'd love to get the home theater room done, but we have to wait and see what our finances look like in a year or so before planning the Big Expansion. In the meantime, Bart's giving me his "old" 40" flat screen Sony CRT. It's huge, but it'll fit on my stand, and it's really nice. Bart's tastes are simple: He's always satisfied with the very best (Thanks Oscar Wilde.) So his "hand me downs" are usually nicer than whatever I'd buy new. He and his wife Barbara are just very cool people. Hard to believe I've known 'em over ten years now.
