It was a warm summer evening back in July; Jon was coming home from work disgusted, another lost day between the NFL Players association and the owners, it was looking more and more dismal.....on every front. What would a fall be without NFL or Packer football. What would every Sunday look like disguised as a bye week...It couldn't be so....
Jon expressed his angst toward rectifying and agreement to save an NFL season and raised his fist in the air triumphantly at home in the kitchen in front of Melissa and a surprised Madeline. He said the following words: "Melissa..if the Packers make the Super Bowl..we're buying a flat screen for the basement." Melissa agreed right away...both of us knew how hard it was for a team to make a repeat appearance, but we both had hope.
What followed was a great Packer season...throughout the 15-0 start..the team looked invincible...and Jon was already taking measurements and stalking Best Buy and American ads for the perfect addition. More and more sentences by Jon mentioned the word TV and Packers..and needless to say...the day came when Melissa said..you better make sure you get a good price point on what you want....reality was beginning to set in.....
Time went by..we all know the outcome...a hard loss to a great season, and the TV is put on hiatus.....a true wager will be honored by all parties.....the time will be right...another time...but this time...the forward plan for the house is all new lighting upstairs...websites are being checked, designs are getting tossed around and layouts are being considered...its only the beginning.....so begins the road of style and design compromise...I can see a lighting ceremony in our future already.....
