If, for your birthday, you got a slightly used white MacBook, a white iPod and a NIV bible, all as gifts from your cousin who steals things from inside people’s cars, then let’s chat.

If you notice that the iPod has my name on it OR that the name has been scraped off, please let me know.

If you can’t help but notice that the large print* NIV bible has a lot of notes written in my handwriting, then I’m only an e-mail away.

If you keep getting my e-mails, I think I know why.

While I’ll leave the details to the police, I will say that what has happened is the stealing of my backpack from my Jeep on a recent Saturday night. This is why I haven’t blogged as of late; these documents were stored on the laptop. So was, incidentally, the 10,000 word beginning of a book about the 80’s that I have been working on. So let’s add that to the list: if you suddenly find that it’s easier to come up with the first 4 or 5 chapters of a book that you never thought about writing, and, if you find it exceedingly difficult to finish the manuscript in the same vein in which it started, then please, by all means, let me know.

Bummer.

* I need to expand on the reasoning for having a large print bible, but not now; maybe later.
