Hard not to enjoy it when I have folks like those here at APS, THR, and TFL, and I really appreciate the sentiment. I was actually in a blue mood and dreaded getting out of bed this morning, believe it or not. Between you guys and the Mrs, I feel invigorated. Mrs. G-98 was calling me at work all day with geriatric jokes. She thought she was funny, but I guess she got the last laugh in when she came home from work, and gave me a big box to open up. Instead of spoiling the surprise, I'll post the picture of what was in it:
Fender Strat, with Icehouse Beer motif. Besides the fact that she's as cute as a bug's ear, I knew there was a reason I kept her around.
Dunno if it tops the present I bought myself, though. I felt I deserved it, a 40th B-Day/USAF retirement attaboy:
I'm such a sucker for material gifts. Baubles and bangles...
