I returned to the hotel yesterday to find my room phone flashing like the Batphone.

When I checked the voicemail message I found out Commissioner Gordon wasn’t on the other end, but there was a package waiting for me at the front desk.

When I saw the box was from Amazon I knew that it was my anniversary gift from Cindy. We had already decided that we would get each other something from our respective Amazon Wishlists. She told me the other day that she was thinking of getting the Complete Captain America (every Captain America comic book published by Marvel Comics up to April of 2007) on CD for me, so when I saw the size of the box I thought, “That’s bigger than it should be for that one item.”

I raced up the three flights of stairs (Ok, OK, I slowly made my way up the three flights of stairs), got in the room and ripped (Ok, Ok, cut) open the box to find not only the Complete Captain America BUT also the Complete Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse DVD set. I haven’t seen those cartoons since I was 7 or 8 years old.

Thanks, honey. And thanks for understanding the little child inside the man.
