Firstly, contrary to popular belief I do get plenty of sleep at night. Allison gets most of her information while awake. Very seldom does she wake from a nightmare or other vivid dream. Like in the show
, I sleep on the right and Allison on the left. I don't remember the writers researching that level of detail but suffice it to say they got it right. On the other hand, our phone is on Allison's side of the bed because the phone calls are usually for her. That is a matter of efficiency.
I watch the new episodes like everyone else, NBC on Monday nights with commercials and all. I have noticed that the commercials are getting a little more main stream. For a while there seemed to be a lot of sleeping aid commercials, which I personally thought was funny. I would like to see more beer commercials because I am a fan of beer although I don't drink it too often because it makes me fat. I am a fan of quality over quantity. My favorite is going to a German Restaurant and ordering an Octoberfest Bier with some sort of schnitzel or sausage.
As for the episode "Car Trouble" I can tell you some of my highlights. My favorite line is when Ariel sees the new car and says something like "is this the car I'll be driving when I'm 16?" Allison and I turned to each other and laughed because it is so true to our daughter's personality (She is turning 14 in 6 weeks).
Allison does get "feelings" for places and objects and most definitely people. My favorite memory about Allison and buying a car is not a bad feeling but a good one. Allison and I were driving to go to lunch and she said, lets go look at cars. I said "are we looking or buying?" She just smiled.
We had wanted to get a used car to save on the depreciation, but we did not want one more than 3 years old. When we got to the dealership the just pulled out a used car that was the right make, model and color and looked great. It had only 20 K miles on it so it was just what we were looking for. It turned out to be 7 years old. It was my lucky day! There were other customers waiting to see if our credit fell through because they wanted the car.
I do like that they show TV Joe working at a startup company and inventing things. I started my career at a start up. I was the 5th employee and when I left there were 300 plus. I have also invented many things, some have even been patented. They are always a little vague on the invention, something to do with solar cells. It does look a lot like something that we used on one of the satellites I worked on. I did not invent a solar array concentrator, but I know the guys that did http://www.aec-able.com/arrays/cellsave.html
Best,
Joe
