| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system When it comes to conventional NFL wisdom, it's easier to get worse than it is to get better when you change quarterbacks. So, with that in mind, I'd keep your current system and see how it sounds in your new home. If it sounds better, then problem... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? @rettrussell, + 1 re Michael Hedges. I am very thankful that I was able to see him perform live.
