the wise man from the east....

ok, so my brother left this morning........and it has been a good visit......at dinner last night, with each child thanking him profusely for lavish gifts....they joked about him being the wise man who came from the east.......like a three-in-one wise man......gold, frankensense, myurh (sp)...on this trip turned out to be a dell laptop,a flatbed scanner/printer, a dell jukebox (like an ipod only dell), a nice cd player with detachable speakers, a 3-season alias box set,.........you get the picture....and though the classic spend-the-same-on-each rule was not applied, the receivers of each were thrilled despite the disparity.......scw is now set-up for college.......with computer equipment at least.....that's a hefty expense out of the way, and not from our pockets......now all we have to do is figure out the perfect graduation gift that will complement these fine gifts...maybe a palm that plays music and has wi-fi capability.....that would be cool for school, i suppose....though i must admit to a decided lack of coolness...ah well......maybe that is a gift for my list next year......
