    1. Well, not a very tough call this week.

      Incendentally, as part of my holdiday returns, I took back a “Hitch” DVD that my mother-in-law gave me (I’m confident she doesn’t read this blog) and exchanged it for “Rubber Soul.” That’s a pretty good crap-to-quality exchange ratio, IMO.

      (Okay, so I didn’t actually see “Hitch.” It might not have been that bad. But you can’t really argue with “Rubber Soul,” can you? Now I’ve completed my middle-era collection of “Help!” through “Sgt. Peppers.”)

    2. BTD Greg, that’s the best trade I’ve ever heard.

    3. Beatles. Always Beatles.
      We almost did a Rubber Soul Christmas card this year, but opted for Hard Day’s Night instead. British version.
      Theme: Supergenius is making the big move?

    4. Best of luck with the move, Steve. I’ve known for some time now that you were moving, but haven’t heard the backstory. Did I miss it? Wha’cha up to?
