Roomba!
Saturday, November 22, 2003 at 3:51PM
Our vacuum cleaner bit the dust last night, so I took that as a sign that I should buy a Roomba. For the same price as a regular vacuum cleaner, the Roomba vacuums automatically. Charge the battery, put it down, select the size of the room, and leave. Presto! A vacuumed room. We're just auditioning it. But to my mind, what's not to like? Even if it isn't 100% perfect, there's something to be said for vacuuming more often, less well. It is strange that I have this but I don't have a dishwasher. One problem: my friends are going to tease me mercilessly. I have yet to find a gadget that I don't like. I'm still looking for the robotic duster. Update: Charlene was skeptical, but she's starting to like the little guy. Yes, we're already treating it as a member of the family.

You, my friend are hopeless!!! (in a very loving way of course.) I'll be interested in a future update on the roomba, I guess it doesn't do stairs, but you really don't have many of those. By the way, what the heck is dusting? I once heard Vania say that in our house it's a country accent. Enjoy your "Roomba" - sounds like a latin dance. Watch out, don't forget your baptist roots. :)
DUDE! I want one! I'm so getting one when I return to the States... right on.
