A Great Idea

When visiting my parents, I picked up a great idea.  My father used to be a voracious reader until his stroke.  He now enjoys books on tape/CD.  He does not use ear buds or head phones to listen.  Instead he just plays them over a speaker. 

I listen to many audio books when away on business.  When driving I can listen through the car's speakers. Otherwise I had been listening with my ear buds.  I miss a lot of time listening to my audio books when in my hotel room when I usually have the television on.  The only time I listen other than in the car is when I am out walking. 

After seeing what my father is doing, I thought that if I can find a small and inexpensive speaker for my iPod, I could listen to my audiobooks and podcasts while in my hotel room: working out, playing pc games, crunching numbers for work.  I found a small and inexpensive speaker that is rechargeable and I did not turn on the television in my room once.  I think I am on to something here.
