now i know what folks in alaska do
they order a lot of stuff from amazon
just ordered the hard copy of debt 5000 years, for later read by first and second born
and
downloaded the kindle edition to my ipad, to join the other 300 some books waiting for my read or re-read
and
ordered a random selection of idir / karen matheson CDs to then upload to ipad, joining my 16 days of continuous-play music
am now ready for vacation again
adore mail-order / electronic download
in 1993 i invited lady friend then living n splitting time between barrow point and anchorage alaska to boracay island philippines over christmas new years, full fare, wasn't taking any chances - the switch in weather and such was so drastic that she went into system shock for the first two days on the island. two years later, immediately before she pulled the trigger on whom to marry she wanted to re-do the trip and asked whether i was up to my original offer, that she should move to hk. had she simply shown up ala in the movies, my life could well have turned out a bit different. alas, by then my then girlfriend and now wife already was busy planning parties and ceremonies in multiple jurisdictions. am unsure what this story has to do with amazon, alaska, mail order, instant gratification, weak state of mind, closing the deal, etc etc etc, my just reflecting ;0) |
