Sweet dreams...

As I'm laying in bed waiting for hubby to come home, I hear the front door open, the lights click on in the living room and his voice, "I'll be there in a few minutes...can you wait for me?"


I respond, "Of course I can...take your time."


What's so special about this exchange, you ask? Well, it's nice to be able to communicate like this across "long" distances -- an entire condo-length away!

Patting myself on the back...

I had a great CI moment last night. Actually, it was more like an hour-and-a-half long CI moment...


I was watching an old Czechoslovakian movie w/ my hubby. The actors spoke Czech (obviously), but the only subtitles available were in English. Sooo since I speak Czech, I plugged my CI into the television to hear the dialogue AND I turned on the English subtitles *just in case* I didn't catch something.


It took some getting used to, but because I was able to hear the actors speaking, the reading of the subtitles (captioning, in a sense) flowed smoothly along.


Cool, huh?


:-D


[Side note: Hubby & I were born in the Czech Republic, therefore, we speak Czech fluently.]
