Just got a brand-new 37" Toshiba HD LCD TV! It's glorious, crystal-clear and huge. I'm thrilled to say I've now joined the modern world, even if a bit belatedly.
But it's also a sad time. To make way for my HD beauty, I've had to retire an old friend -- my 11-year-old 19" Zenith. You might think I'm being a bit maudlin, but you have no idea what we've been through together: High school graduation, the "freshman 15," Street Fighter II, Clinton, graduation from college, Bush, Katie Couric's controversial move to CBS, Miss Teen America... I could go on. Anyway, I thought it would be fitting to write an obituary for my fallen comrade:The Park Street Rambler is sad to report the death his Zenith Z20A21D, who was laid to rest on March 29th, 2008, after a 10-year battle with obsoleteness. The Zenith was 11 years old and worked for Comcast. A student of history and a great listener, the Zenith will be missed by friends and family.
I miss you dawg!

That TV was ELEVEN YEARS OLD?! Good Lord.
Yeah! We've been through a lot together. But, it was time for a change... In mid-April the cable guy is coming to hook up HD and upgrade our service. Can't wait!
HD will change your life forever. Just don't ever give up control of your remote.
