Welcome to my house. There is no microwave; never has been. I own no wireless headset, not even a common cell phone. I have no Blackberry. The TV is in the basement. The number of cable TV channels is the utmost fewest possible; the cable is really for the high-speed Internet connection. Which, yes, is very important. The living room is graced with custom-installed shelves holding 1,123 round slabs of hard black circular vinyl in paper slipcovers within distinctive cardboard jackets. These are called "record albums" or "LPs." It appears there are a great many CDs, as well; and there is music stored on the iMacG5. I have no iPod. But if I DID, I would have to say "no thanks" to iPod-bearing underpants, and the surfboard iPod.

I am going to get some of these, though. How can I resist?
