Friday night, my wife surprised me. First she suggested dinner, "somewhere near the Plaza". Then she casually suggested, "Why don't we take a quick look around the Apple store? I know you like that store."

So, never being one to refuse a trip to Mecca, we quickly sashayed into the Apple store - where they were having the release party for the new iPod!!!

Then the big surprise. "Honey - I want to buy one for you!!"

Well, you could have knocked me over with a floppy!

So now I'm the proud owner of the most extreme MP3/AAC player on the planet.

Most awesome!

I think I'll keep that woman.
