In `91, I wanted a Sega Genesis, in `08, I'm getting a HDTV!
Can you remember the items that you wish you had 17 years ago? Well last Sunday I had to think back. The story is this.... Last Sunday, my mother and I went to the mall for a day of lunch, chatting and shopping. During the previous week, my mom had mentioned to me that she had something to give me. My mom is eventually going to move out her house and into Harvey's condo so she is starting to go through various files.
After we sat down @ California Pizza Kitchen, my mom pulls out two things for me. One is my passport from 1987 which is hilarious because I look so young! I wish I could go back to that FedEx Kinkos (where if you haven't seen, my new passport photo is great except for the fact that they tinted the photo so I look like a Canadian who has been out in the Cancun sun to long) and tell them how to correctly shoot a photo.
Then onto the second item. My mom pulls out a white envelope and says "I think you'll definitely like to see these. I guess I forgot about these". Turns out it was the rest of my Bar Mitzvah U.S. Savings Bonds from 1991! Hot Damn! What a fortuitous turn of events for Howard! So know I have a chunk of change that I was not expecting. This means that dream of getting an High-Definition TV in place for the March Madness college basketball tournament is getting closer to a reality!
So I ask you, can you remember what you wanted 17 years ago? I think I wanted a Sega Genesis or of course, to be about 9 inches taller in height. So no Sonic the Hedgehog for me, I am now firmly on the path towards the HD Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four....

That's very cool Howard! Talk to DJ about Crutchfield for TV's, we're really happy with ours.

Very nice!
I think 17 years ago I wanted to be another 17 years younger. Which if you ask my wife, would still make me 40 years old back then.
