My parents bought me a birthday present
I talked to my mom last week.
“I’ve got your birthday check in an envelope,” she said. “Spend it on something fun.”
I got a separate check from my dad. It didn’t come with instructions.
I took them to the bank this morning, and then I went to Best Buy. “Just on the off chance they have Excalibur.”
They didn’t. But they did have the James Bond Ultimate Collections. And they were on sale.
I couldn’t stop there, though. Ultimate they may be, but they’re missing the most recent movies, and they’re missing the original film version of Casino Royale.
And we just can’t have that, now can we, Mr. Bond?
(By the way, that rather shiny silvery surface my Bond Bonaza is resting on there is the glass top of our rockin’ new patio set, where I am, even now, drinking a glass of wine and writing this post.)
happy birthday!

Thank you!
You don’t have Excalibur?!?
I know, right?
And it occurs to me occasionally that, OMG, I don’t own Excalibur. So I go look for it at whatever the closest media-retailer is, and they never have it, and I think, “I’ll just go online and order it,” but then I forget until the next time I realize that, OMG, I don’t own Excalibur.
Which reminds me – I was going to pre-order the new Spinal Tap collection, but I needed another $13.01 to get free shipping – and I don’t own Excalibur!
Add a couple of things from NovySan’s wishlist, and we’re done. Thanks, Oslowe!
I am here to help.
