David's Daily Diversions

Birthday Haul

I'm glad my wife is much better with presents than I am. I generally do a terrible job of getting anything for her or anyone else.

I actually received my first presents on the 14th because Aidie couldn't wait any longer and I was then able to make use of them on my birthday. Before he went to bed, he came in with a package and said, "Here's your t-shirt and tie!" He calls all shirts t-shirts. It was a nice blue dress shirt and a very nice tie. I always need ties. I get tired of using the same ones over and over - I have about 30 or so, but there are a limited number that go with the shirts I currently wear.

Yesterday I got a book and four icons. Two of them are large, 8x10s of the Last Supper and of St Antony the Great. Two are little and are reversable, both with Christ on one side and St Christopher on the other. They came free with the othe icons. The icons are from Greece and from the same eBay seller from whom we have purchase icons in the past.

Now we just have to find a place for them.
