AN OLD FRIEND IS BACK HOME

That old friend is my TV control for the nice TV that I have in my office. I am a news junkie and i HAVE to keep up with the news. While I was struggling to stay on Weather Brains Monday night, it vanished. Found it this afternoon under my chair at my desk. I had sat directly on it for 36 hours It was almost like one of my puppies escaping and finally deciding to return home
