Employee Appreciation Week

 

All I’ll say is this.  I noticed that right around the time of Employee Appreciation Week, they stopped refilling the complimentary mouth wash stations in the bathrooms.

Toys

 

Thinking about toys.  All the ones I’ve had.  All the ones I want.  Over the years they change and the price only goes up.  They never stop calling you.  

When you’re a child you can’t get anything for yourself.  You have to rely on your parents for everything and if they aren’t down, forget it.  In the 70’s I bought one Star Wars action figure.  It came with a catalog of other Star Wars action figures.  I would just lay on my stomach and turn the pages, looking at figures of Obi Wan Kenobi and Tuscan Raiders.  I’m sure at that point we had at least Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.  

Eventually every figure was acquired.  

Then it was the GI Joe figures.

Now it’s music equipment.  Specifically the Fender Jazzmaster American Professional. 

It will never be enough.  But maybe it can end.
