File under "Things I've been meaning to tell Phantom for days now"

Well, it took us nearly a year to do it, but on Monday, I finally hooked up a VCR in our no-longer-new home. (Blame the delay on the fact that we packed up the necessary cables a bit too well and couldn't locate them for a long while.)

First thing to go in the VCR? Muppet Show tapes! And now, every morning when I go into Angry Boy's room, I'm greeted with the following: "Watch Muppet Show?" When I came home from work this evening, AB was already at the dinner table, munching happily on cheese, dinosaur-shaped Ritz crackers, and red peppers. But he stopped munching to tell me, "Want to watch Muppet Show."

So, after dinner, we went downstairs and watched the Harry Belafonte episode.
