Perfectly good 'old' new stove/oven

$180 later and a $30 delivery charge and we now have a brand new reconditioned oven that frankly looks and works like new. Proof that rethinking old habits together with taking action do indeed lead to change.

Old is the new 'new'!

While shopping for a new appliance today (our stove/oven died last night) it occurred to me how addicted I am to 'new'.

What's wrong with getting a re-conditioned stove? Or a 'used' oven?

For years marketers have told us that 'new' is better and in some cases it is...however in light of the current state of affairs....the economy and the environment.... I stopped myself from sliding down the slippery slope of gleaming stainless steel and have instead opted to shop for a stove that has been reconditioned.

Not only will it cost me much less than a new one but I'll be putting one less hunk of junk in our landfills.

A point worth a ponder.

Wow! Check out the soulful sounds of Jonah Smith

We went to see Los Lobos a couple of nights ago and were pleasantly surprised by the opening act.....a guy by the name of Jonah Smith. He blew us away.

Thanks for such a great performance!

Los Lobos called him back on stage to sing "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye - as an encore.......unbelievable....not rehearsed and perfect. Check out his self titled CD on iTunes if you appreciate soulful vocals.
