On Friday I visited my local guitar shop.
Wandering around I spotted a new bass guitar hanging on the wall:
OK, now I confess that I have wanted a guitar like this for many years. It is a classic rock guitar shape, not often seen in bass form.
No price. This is sometimes a sign that if you need to ask, you can't afford it.
I unhooked it from the wall and had a quick thunk on it. Very nice to play too. Hm.
So I asked the guy how much it was. He had no idea. The manager had no idea. He rang head office - THEY had no idea.
They looked on the internet and found a discount place selling it for a silly price.
He offered it to me at a really stupid price. He knows I love a bargain.
How could I refuse?
I tried to phone my wife to ask permission but she was in a supermarket where the building blocks the signal.
I bought it.
I love it.
It is my new baby.
PS my wife was OK about me buying it.

Oooh, congrats!
Boy or girl? What's its name?
That is a secret!
But what do you think?
He, he!
Hmm, I think male - and the name is probably something like Victor, or Hugo (but not Victor Hugo) or maybe...Finn!
Hey! Good for you! Everyone deserves a little indulgence now and then. Enjoy!
*If I had to name it, I'd call it:
Viggio. But that's neither here nor there. It's most likely a girl anyway. . .
Oh, it's SO cool! Good for you. You deserve a nice present for taking care of everyone and everything lately.
Ali - Whatever the name it would have to start with V. Male, huh?
Jen - Viggio... I like that!
Terri - Thanks, I thought so too.
Remember.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.
Definitely needs to start with a V! What about Vern? LOL!
This sounds vaguely how I ended up with a 4 wheeler in my garage!!!!
A name??? I think a woman's name, because I think a woman is like a guitar, its all in how you play her. Violet.
Aaron - Easier to ask for, often harder to get!
Kenady - Vern? Doesn't quite have the ring I was looking for...
Kiki - "its all in how you play her" - that is fantastic! So wise, so true!
Congrats on your new baby!!! It's awesome!
