A frozen Bundle Of Suck Wrapped In Sunshine

The Bad
It’s minus thirty.
We’re running out of firewood again.
The CD player is broken
I’m not skiing.

The good

The sun is shinning filling up the house with warm yellow light. If it keeps up we won’t need any firewood. Ha.

The frustration of being middle class and Canadian.

My CD collection approaches the 200 mark. My MP3 collection approaches the 500 mark. We really need a new record player for our 200 plus collection of records. Yesterday we went to the stereo store to look at options. We were swayed mightily by a deeply discounted, new and improved, better than we own amp/tuner. I’m toying with the idea of an airport express with which to wirelessly stream music from the computer over to the stereo.

Why hasn’t someone invented a device that can play records, CDS, cassettes, eight tracks, the radio and MP3s. I’ll be first in line. Realistically I‘d rather not have to rip all my CDS into MP3’s. Ideally I’m going outside to ski, fast.
