New look

We needed a change. Everything is the same, just a little different...

Off to Vienna tomorrow. Supposed to be in the 60's there over the weekend.

Lots of time right now on our hands since a HUGE German windstorm has knocked out our satellite dish AGAIN. We actually have had satellite service for one day since we got home from the US for the holidays. Apparently, our neighbors did some work on their home and "relocated" the mast that our dish sits on and now it is loose. Since this is a family program, I will not get into what I would like to "relocate" on our neighbor. Our landlord is being very good about things though and is cracking the German whip to get things fixed.

While we were without our beloved dish for the past few weeks, I was able to find a place on the net where we could watch the Price is Right for free! It was on every night at 7pm with a feed from San Francisco. Apparently some Chinese dude is bootlegging some broadcasts into China but anyone can access them. ESPN was on for a while, but disappeared. Hard to complain in Mandarin.

We are gonna miss Bob Barker when he retires later this year. No one could handle the Plinko stick like Bob. Rumor has it that the guy from the Nickelodeon show Double Dare back in the day (Mark Sommers I think) is going to replace him. Someone also said Ryan Seacrest. I can hear it now...

"And remember to have your pets spayed and neutered......Seacrest........OUT!"

We found a ton of classic Price is Right clips on You Tube that you must check out if you have the time as well.

Auf Wiedersehen
