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.”)

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

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?

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?
