The Morning Tailgate
Yesterday was a big day for me. After months of holding off due to no reason other than sheer laziness, I finally had my dish system upgraded to High Definition. And just as the others had told me I would, I sat on the couch and watched a 30 minute show on space balloons for no other reason than to marvel at the picture that was coming from my TV. But I’ll know I’ve really made it when the time comes for the first Cardinals game to be broadcast in HD inside my living room.
I’ve never looked forward to seeing Al Hrabosky’s mug so much in my life.
