As follow-on to last week’s Gratitude Monday, today I am
joyfully grateful for the generosity of spirit my friend Chris showed after she
read the post about Smokey
Robinson’s new album.
She got right down to the point, asking, “Do you iTunes?”
I don’t, actually, because I’m the only person on the planet who does not own
an Apple device of any sort.
(I was looking
into an iPod Touch for a while, because my Zune is literally held together by
tape, and a friend was happy to get me one for my birthday. But Max, the
manager at the Stanford Mall Apple Store, was such an unbelievable snotbag—he
was only interested in selling me an iPhone, and it turns out that not only does it not have an FM receiver, I’d have to
spend a day converting all my MP3 music to the iTunes format if I wanted to use
his poxy pod. So that went out the window, and I just wrapped another layer of
tape around the Zune.)
So Chris switched to Amazon mode, and looky what arrived
Thursday afternoon, the day after “Smokey and Friends” was released:
I’ve been dancing around the area ever since—and not just
because I can’t get enough of Smokey and Steven Tyler singing “You Really Got a
Hold on Me”. It’s the combination of Smokey, Steven and Chris that’s lifting my
spirits.
