Inconvenience

Pain, as well as inconvenience, is a relative thing.

I offered to move the TiVo up to the game room for my kids and hook it up to the 55in TV.

(Lest you think we are too spoiled, I got the TiVo with a lifetime subscription for 20 bux at a garage sale. The TV was 150 dollars gently used. It's a decent standard def rear projection.)

We just got power back a few hours ago after Hurricane Ike passed 72 hrs ago.

1.6 million people still do not have power here.

My son's complaint: 'Nooo! I don't want to have to climb the stairs just to watch TV!'

Ahh, so soon the standard is raised again.
