Seriously, thanks for the recommendation. Since I missed it in the 70's, I've been wanting to see the series.

Hey K-9,
Sounds like our "expenditure justification" parts of our brains aligned through cyberspace. And I know we are going to be happy to have those 68 hours of episodes at our beckon call --- or is it "beck and call"? -- I have never known for sure......I think it has to be the first one.....oh well....I digress.....imagine that......so anyway.....
About that chunk of change -- I tend to look at numbers first and then somehow move those numbers into story-problem form.....
--
Story-Problems!
Story-Problems -- those horrors from elementary school......
Between story-problems and those drills to duck and cover, some of those elementary school days could get pretty stressful.....
And then I had to try so hard to keep my mouth shut to keep myself from saying to my teacher, "How will hiding under our desks possibly save us from the bomb?"...... Whoops -- uh, please forgive this morning's flashback.
So anyway, buying the entire series of
Upstairs Downstairs cost about as much as a couple of decent theater seats in Cincinnati for the Broadway Series. And that would be just for one night.
See how I can make this "expenditure justification" stuff work.....And I tend to pick stocks in much the same way. Glance at a few numbers and then convert those numbers into a story-problem.
And nobody better come in here and call that English-major-math. (I kind of like the narrator who lives in my head.)
Anyway, K-9, I think you will be happy that you bought in.
