Xbox 360 deal
The lowest price for the bells-and-whistles version (which includes 20-gigabyte hard drive) is $354 with $1 shipping at Overstock.com, according to dealnews.com.
Normally $400. But I suspect the price may drop even more since another system due for release a month from now, although more expensive, could give Microsoft a run for the money.

A deal that's on cue
Kmart has a 7-foot pool table on sale for $190 (regular $270).
Now, if I just had a place to put it. I've suggested to my wife that we could replace our existing dining room table (it's old anyway) with the pool table and buy a nice dining table cover (just the top part - if they sell that piece separately) so we'd kill two birds with one stone. When guests aren't over, we can play pool.
Not gonna happen, she says.
Sigh. Another brilliant idea gone to waste.

Seeing a play without having to pay
I know, going to the theater tonight would mean skipping an evening of CSI must-see TV. But if God didn't want us to go see a play, he wouldn't have invented TiVo.

Tonight's performance is John Henry Redwood’s The Old Settler, a love story set in Harlem in the 1940s.
