It always makes me smile when I walk down to the mailbox and find an Amazon box addressed to me when I know I haven’t ordered anything, because that means somebody has been thinking of me! Last week I received three such packages as 14th-anniversary gifts: A Study in Emerald from Geekdownrange, Devoted to Death from Steve Kempson, and a Blackmore’s Night album from Antonio Lorusso; at least, I think that’s who sent what, because I kept the slips but they don’t say the name of the item with the name of the sender! And surprise surprise, Amazon was no help in sorting it out. So if I got y’all wrong, please let me know! But it doesn’t really matter, because I appreciate all my presents and never put anything on my wishlist that I don’t actually want!

You’re correct I did send the Blackmore Night album.
Despite knowing you’ve put out daily post regularly for all this time from the early years I’ve been reading it, when I see on my RSS reader an unread count against your blog’s name I get a thrill of anticipation to read what you have to say and possibly see a picture of your beautiful body.
