Bloom County's back!
Mom is celebrating her 88th today. My sister Linda has come to Louisville from Virginia, and her son will be there tomorrow.
This is an e-mail I just woke up to - I adore the majority of our customers but these OCD people are just too much. "Dear Mr. Kimmel, This is to advise you that the Ltd OST CD release of "One-Eyed Jacks - Encore Edition" arrived at my address today (13/07/15). The CD was sealed and the discs were securely held and seem fine on initial inspection. What is regretable is that the top inner hinge of the twin disc holder was defective. No missing bit(s) were found inside the case so it is very possible this was a moulding fault on the production line and should be investigated. The design is far from robust and it would be wise to use a different style of holder. I also note that there was an additional major crack on the outer leading edge of the CD case. As a specialist OST collector, these discoveries are a major disappointment, because owning the originally-designed CD case in defective condition obviously reduces the value of a ltd edition disc set. I am starting to think I made a serious mistake in buying something from Kritzerland."
I have responded, oh, yes, I have responded.
I like the notion that the CD case was "especially 'moulded'" for this one CD. No other CD could fit this case, JUST this one CD.And, naturally enough, no replacement case would EVER do!And, oh! my! The design of the especially 'moulded' CD case wasn't "robust".The case mind arrived in looked exactly like the cases that hundreds of others have arrived in.

I wasn't mean in my response - I suggested he was being unreasonable and that I was certain he'd had this kind of problem with other labels' CDs (how could he not), and that a thank you for our speedy service and perhaps even the damn music on the CD might have been nice. And I recommended that if he was thinking he'd made a serious mistake ordering from us that the easy answer to that problem was never to order from us again.Hell, I get so many damaged jewel cases I buy them in bulk from Amazon.

Monday afternoon greetings! I had a check-up this morning with my cardiologist, who is concerned enough about the swelling in my legs and feet that he's scheduled me for an echocardiogram. Must not be too concerned, though, because it won't be until July 28.

I swam in our pool today. I'm amazed there aren't other swimmers while very happy about the fact.
