Now this is true love
I can't believe I waited so long to move the 40" HD flatscreen TV up to our bedroom. We bought it last February in a fit of irrational spending and mounted it above the fireplace. It was lovely and perfect, but given our lifestyle, it was sadly underused. I enjoyed it a bit playing Tiger Woods on my PS2, watched a few football games and golf tournaments, but it mostly entertained the dogs with Animal Planet when we went out. We spend far more time in our cozy red cave of a bedroom, so I finally talked Diana into making the switch, which involved hauling the 400-pound old-school 36" TV down off our dresser and to the living room (which we said we would never do after hauling it UPstairs last year). We upgraded our Tivo to the fancy new HD version, and now we are enjoying the pure bliss that is full High-Definition television in our favorite place (bed). You haven't really enjoyed TV till you've enjoyed it in HD. This picture doesn't even come close to doing it justice, but just imagine how much fun it is for us to watch Cesar and Daddy on Dog Whisperer in 1080i, every whisker on Daddy's face popping off the screen at us, every little crinkle on Cesar's face making Diana swoon. Soon we'll be enjoying the high-def wonders of Africa thanks to Survivor Gabon, and I personally can not wait to see my favorite girl Tina Fey in HD on 30 Rock.
We are a simple people with simple pleasures. A cozy bed, a half-dozen dogs, a bottle of wine, and a big-ass TV to entertain us. Doesn't get much better than that.

I like that you convinced Diana to let you take the nice tv upstairs. I am trying to convince Kev of the same thing but he would rather watch it downstairs and wheel his computer into the living room (in between the tv and my recliner - I think he is trying to keep me from changing the station from football to ANYTHING else)than sit in the cozy bedroom watching gardening shows with me. I guess the gardening stuff can be on the smaller, non HD tv, but ....
