Blog Number 153

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

A few years back while I was at a friends house, he was showing me this really cool CD case holder that his wife had bought him for his birthday.  It had a light on it and held about 100 CDs and it also had a button that moved all the CDs so you could look for the one you wanted.  My description does not do it justice, it was truly a cool device.  Anyway, as I was playing with the thing, I saw a CD that I wanted to borrow.  I asked and he said sure.  I opened the CD case only to find out the CD was not in it.  He had no idea where the CD was actually and so I left a little disappointed.

Fast forward to last year sometime when I was at my sister-in-law's house and looking at her (somewhat boring) CD shelf.  I found a CD that I wanted to borrow.  She told me that was fine and I opened the CD case only to (again) find that it was not in there.  She said she thought the CD might be in her carrying case in her car.  Either way, I did not get that CD either.

Fast forward to Saturday.  We headed down to the Austin area to visit some friends.  We took our van but first I went to my car to retrieve my CD carrying case so we would have plenty of tunes for the drive there and back (about 7 hours round trip).  My wife also has her own carrying case for her van so I decided to flip through it instead.  After I picked up what I thought was her CD case, I realized that it was somebody else's case.  Upon further inspection I found out it was my sister-in-law's carrying case and lo and behold the CD that I wanted to borrow last year was in there along with about 40 other CDs!  She had brought the case with her when she drove down here with my wife before I returned from Argentina.  So now I am in heaven, having many new CDs to listen to.  I asked my wife and the sister-in-law has not even asked about the case so I will have plenty of time to listen to all of them before she notices it is gone.

Unless of course she reads this blog.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
