An Unfortunate Coincidence

I received a distressing phone call from Number 1 son recently.

While he and his wife were at work, and the kids at school, someone broke into their home and stole anything that plugged in. Television, computer, games, pods, and players.

The local gendarmes says yah that happens around here sometimes. It won't be quick but we might get some of it back.

While most of it is stuff, and can be replaced, the sense of being violated takes much longer to heal. Mercifully, no one was home, or hurt.

Oddly, the day they lost theirs, I received an XBox. Obviously, I am not a gamer. In fact I made my boys play with the sound off. Continuous Mario driveling noise can quickly throw the unawares over the edge. I was close most of the time.

No my X box is somewhat different.

Mrs. T gave it to me on her anniversary. I was shocked since come anniversary time she gets not gives. Here it is.



It's a small jewelry box. Ten years, X, get it?
