Biting the Bullet
Yesterday afternoon marked our third unsuccessful attempt to buy a new TV for the living room. Finding a TV wasn't necessarily the problem, the problem has been resigning ourselves to the cost of having it mounted over the fireplace. We came home discouraged, but after a pep talk over dinner from Javier and Crisi (thanks guys), Joel went back out by himself and bought a 52 inch Samsung LCD. Circuit City had it on sale, then in addition they had an "open box" one which was several hundred dollars off the sale price, and then somehow Joel talked them down another 10%. And Circuit City's installation crew is coming Thursday night to look at the room and give us an exact installation estimate. My dream is inching closer to becoming reality...

Joel is a good negotiator. It reminds me of the rafting trip we took and he bargained the mom and pop shop to sell him pop tarts or maybe it was graham crackers at a 2 for 1 price or something. It was very amusing. It is good to see he has moved his negotiating skills to the next level.
HA! He never told me that story - I will have to ask him about that now ;) I can totally picture it.
