I'm back at the office less than 8 hours after leaving last nigh/this morning.  My wife calls with an unusual request. 

She says: “I turned on the XBOX.  I have a picture but there's no noise.”

Me: “Did you try turning the volume knob on the speaker?”

She: “Do you think I'm an idiot?”

Me: “No.  Sorry.  I love you.”

At this point, I connected to my home pc using a remote desktop connection.  I unmuted the line-in connection and was immedately rewarded with the satisfying sounds of the Namco Museum theme music.  The best part is that my wife thinks that I performed some feat of magic that she was fortunate to witness but not quite understand.  Today is starting off in a good direction.
