DINNER 278: Thursday, October 5, 2006

After a hectic day at work, I was somewhat glumly looking forward to another boring night on the couch since Wendy had rehearsal and wouldn’t be home until late. However, an instant message from my friend Rob changed my evening plans and brightened my outlook.

Rob and I met for dinner at Chili’s where I had Fajita Quesadilas which were very tasty. After dinner, Rob and I went over to Tri-County Mall to get a couple things (including an amplified HDTV antenna from Radio Shack for my PVR) and walk around.

Though it doesn’t sound like an interesting evening, it was just the thing I needed to brighten my mood, which was heading toward pretty foul.

After I got home, I was pleased to find that the amplified HDTV antenna worked just like I hoped it would and greatly enhanced the signal strength of over-the-air HD channels.
