A week or so ago Randy's mom gave us a box of CDs. There were some great CDs in there (Eric Clapton and B B King... Riding With The King; example above) that we kept but many we chose not to keep... so off we went to the CD/DVD exchange store.
Now I don't know if you ever have tried to swap CDs or not. Our experience has been that we did not get much credit up P'land way. It absolutely blew my mind that the CDs that we did not want gave us $90 in credit! What a great treat! We went a bit nuts... he took off one way and I took off the other. We met in between and walked away with a good deal of great entertainment that included music videos, movies and CDs. Randy was able to replace his stolen Boris the Spider, long missed. (We have a big black spider that hangs in the shop named Boris and no he is not real or I would not be in the shop!)
So today in the spirit of giving and sharing... I give you a real treat... that I hope loaded well enough for you all to enjoy. Take a bit of time to go riding with the King! Meanwhile, I'll be watching Ian Anderson leaping and hopping about as he sings and plays the flute. Very cool beans, my friends.
News flash... Congratulations to daBear on another semester of top grades! WOOT! I'm soooo proud of you!
What I like to do with CDs I no longer want is trade with a friend. I give him 5 or 6 unwanted CDs, sight unseen, and he gives me the same number of his unwanted CDs in return. Fun way to expand your horizons.
A very sweet early Christmas treat for you and Randy. I hope you have a great weekend and you enjoy the holidays in your new domicile. Take care my friend.
Score! I love it when things work out that way.
