We purchased a Samsung HDTV. The LN46A650 is a 46″ 1080p LCD with 120 Hz motion blur correction. It has a cool red accented bezel and an Ethernet port for RSS feeds.
Wal-Mart was giving out $100 gift cards when you purchase the 40 GB PS3 and we couldn’t resist. I added an HDMI cable and we watched Ant Bully in 1080p, up converted. I will be purchasing Discovery Channel’s Planet Earth in Blu-Ray soon. No plas on PS3 games, but I think we will rent those for a while.
Little League has ended and Michael begged me to play again next year. I wish he had a better finish because he started off so well. I sent out a very touching email when he earned the team’s first game ball. He really enjoyed himself this year. The Cubs lost their first playoff game against the Nationals, so the season is over. Michael was nominated, but did not make the All-star team.
Jules got her first and only hit against the Wildcats while grandfather Ed was in attendance. She earned a team-voted game ball for that. It has been her only ball in play of the year. They won their first playoff game, with the semis and World Series still remaining to be played. The Wildcats will be waiting for us, since they have beaten the Blue Bombers 3 out of 4 tries this year. My prediction is that if Jules gets another hit off of them, the Blue Bombers will be champs!
