So - since Jim has been at Loretto there has been a TV in his room, left apparently by the former occupant. It was a 1980's type big, heavy tube model. It seemed to work fairly well a 1st but recently the picture has been going flookie making it annoying to watch. So even though there was never a complaint from Jim, I was flipping out when I was there watching TV with him.
Today I said "That's it". I went to Walmart and got a flat screen (light as a feather) for Jim and took it up today to hook it up. I got some assistance from David, one of Jim's aides, who lifted the albatross off the shelf and made it disappear.
I did the "simple" hookup that the young sale professional guaranteed me it would be. I turned it on and it loaded the channels and presto-chango it was ready for action. I got out a couple of Smirnoff Ice (that I packed and smuggled in for Jim and I), cut some sharp cheddar cheese and put out some pretzel chips. I settled into my regular chair and we were ready to watch. Our luck, a good Will Smith was on and we spent some good time together watching a movie and snacking. Just like our past Saturdays!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is good - or at least as good as it can be right now.
