Thanks - great to listen to! Although my mind quickly started hearing what ELP would have done with this in the '70s ala Fanfare :)
Time to clean up wrapping paper. And, I got two CS80 (repair) related presents: an extendable (looks like a pen when retracted) magnet for retrieving screws you've dropped for inside things. And, great new LED-lighted magnifying glasses with interchangeable lenses of different strengths. I swear, the hardest thing about fixing CS80 lately is my ever-deteriorating near vision. Damned presbyopia!
Also saw The Hobbit yesterday in an amazing new theater of a chain spreading around here. Full bar (that pours very strong drinks!)/restaurant. Electric, fully reclining leather lounge chairs with reserved seating. Call buttons to order food before/during movie. Oh - and excellent sound / video with full 48-frame / 3D (active glasses) for the movie. Yeah - there was a movie, although, with everything else, we'd have been happy to just sit and watch CNN for a couple of hours there :) Hobbit was great, if not perfect. And, when I got home, watched the Doctor Who Christmas episode. Excellent! Love the new companion - in any time period. And Strax, the Sontaran, is just hiralious as The Doctor's Man Friday / Dr Watson / munitions expect.
Hope you all has a great day and a great analog New Years to come!
