Yay me!

This was one of the scariest days of my life. I knew that both of my parents were to cross that bridge at around the same time this happened. Those that jumped into the freezing waters to help those in the crash are some of America's greatest heroes.

Thirty years ago today, Air Florida Flight 90 hit the 14th Street Bridge while taking off from Reagan National Airport. It crashed into the Potomac River, killing all but five of the 79 passengers. Summary | Photos | Video of rescue | The survivors | The skies today

Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.

These are things I either didn't know or wouldn't have had the presence of mind to enact.

Now everybody knows what I do all day long.

High Definition TV

I've only recently started watching hi-def TV and blu-ray DVDs. I never felt that I was missing anything without them. This time around, I really didn't need to be the first kid on the block to have these things. But I do have to say that I like to be able to read the credits on the TV. Granted, we did get a larger screen, but without the hi-def, I can't read all those blurry, moving letters.

The one thing that I didn't expect was the way it felt to watch programs and movies on the new TV. The crispness gives the picture a feeling of immediacy that wasn't there before, except, perhaps, in soap operas. Actually, that's exactly what it reminds me of: watching a soap opera. The other thing I noticed, and I haven't figured out why this is yet, is that the blu-ray movies seem like they're entirely CGI. I never noticed either of these things while browsing through the TV section of my local electronics store. So what is it that makes it different now that I'm watching it in my home? Let me know if you have an answer to that.
