Goodbye, Max.

Max, our new DVD player, is gone.

His adoption into our home was described in a nearlier blog.

He lasted 14 days.

And then, he expired.

I mean, he wouldn't even light up.

We returned him to from whence he came -- Future Shop.

An autopsy was performed -- primarily to retrieve the Murder, She wrote DVD Max had had for dinner the night before.

He was vibrant, he was in the prime of life. He was $29.95.

Fortunately, he died the night before we left PEI for Toronto, so I was able to return him for a full refund.

So, we enjoyed 14 nights of DVD-watching at no cost.

I think, when we return to PEI, I'll splurge and spend, oh, maybe $40 to get a top-of-the-line DVD player.

And that's the way the Ball bounces.
