    1. I can see my TV set!

    3. Dear Folks, A couple of months ago I whined to you about my not being able to quite make out the words on my TV screen. I told you it bugged me inasmuch as my TV set is always tuned to a cable channel that plays classical music constantly. What I wanted to make out was who the composer was, who the cello player (or whoever) was and the title of the piece. At the time I didn't want to disturb the decor in my living room but just a few days ago I figured it was about time to forget all about that and bring my TV just a few feet closer to me where I could sit back and read every word. I decided just where I wanted to move it to but I had just one problem. The TV is way too heavy for me to pick up and I needed help. That's when I thought of Ken, my dear next door neighbor. Early today when I heard him putting my mail and newspaper in my door I was quick enough on my feet to wave him down before he got away. I told him I needed help moving my TV and he was only too glad to help me. I was amazed with the ease he picked up the TV and put it where I wanted it. Then he managed to sort out the cables to my VCR and my cable box and put them alongside the TV. When everything was powered up again, I sat in my favorite easy chair and checked out the whole setup. Wow, I could read again, I could read again! I can now make out who the composer is (and realize I've never heard of him), I can make out who the performer/artist is and I can also make out the title of the composition and what orchestra is playing. In addition, I can read the bits of information about the history of the composer, the performer, etc. I know that I'll now get a better education regarding classical music so that I can appreciate it even more. What a great feeling all because I moved the TV just a few feet closer to me. vee
