I figured out how to get ABC smoothly on the rabbit ears. Working the rabbit ears is a lost art, I learned on my uncle Fred's TV in Park City, KS. My other homes growing up had the mounted antenna. Someone just a few years younger than me probably has no idea what I just said.
Today we bought a desk and chair at Ikea. I was in the warehouse with Anders. We picked up one of those wide carts you use to move the boxed, unassembled furniture. Anders wanted to drive, so I let him. With just a few nudges from me, he was able to wheel the cart with two large pieces of boxed furniture all the way across the warehouse. He even took time out to pause and smile at a pretty lady! Dorene witnessed that move. It was hilarious.
We also ate at Yao Ming's restaurant. It's pretty classy joint, run by his parents, no souvenir t-shirts, and food that's more authentic than you get in Athens.
I also finally got keys to my room. Getting keys to the high school I attended was easier than getting keys to the high school at which I work. I told one of my colleagues that I, along with many, many other students, had a key to my high school. He was incredulous. I guess that's the difference between rural Iowa and the 4th largest city in the country.
