Camcorder Sold

| 2 Comments

Well, that was an interesting little experiment. Thanks to all of my family members who took pity on me and offered to buy the camcorder. Even my mother, bless her heart, put in a bid. Thankfully, though, she succumbed to reason and retracted the offer when I asked her when she would ever actually use the thing.

A friend at work who had heard from someone else there that I was selling the camcorder said she wanted it, and we agreed on a price. So, it's going to her as soon as she can rustle up the cash.

I probably could have gotten more for it if I had done the big, scary eBay thing, but I much prefer selling it to someone I know. Oh, and by the way, I mentioned in a comment but I should probably repeat it here that, yes, I did overstate my fear of eBay. I'm not really afraid of it. I just prefer to sell locally. Never before has a statement I've made here been met with such incredulity. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Now, for something completely unrelated, here are a couple designs I recently made in my wife's morning latte:

Wow you are so creative.

Ooooh! Aaaaah! Karl, your lattes are the best I've ever tasted (except maybe Sara's) and the prettiest bar none. How clever of you to share pictures of this ephemera! Those are suitable for framing. Sara is a lucky woman and you are a very fortunate man.

I'm terribly sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the commenting system. I'm trying to track down the source of the problem and fix it. In the meantime, if you receive a "Comment Submission Error" due to an "invalid request," would you mind posting the comment on the contact form instead? Just include "Camcorder Sold" in the subject field. Thanks for your patience.
