Tat for tat

Here’s my conundrum. qbear and I are trekking to Tucson in April to visit my brother and his wife, who have relocated there and bought a condo. This is the first residence they have ever purchased – they were always apartment-dwellers before.

Back in 2002 when Jack and I bought our home (my first), my brother and his wife gave us a housewarming present of a revolving disco light. It’s not a gift we needed, or wanted, or would ever use, but the thought was there. Just not much thought.



Anyway, the light never worked – the tiny bulb was broken when they gave it to us, and it’s an unusual size and wattage, so we were never able to find a replacement. And because we strive to be polite gentlemen, we never let them know that their housewarming gift was really just a big steaming pile of broken crap.

So, when we visit them …

now now... I think you should rise above it. You live in SF, so they gave you a disco light. They live in Tuscon, so you should get them each a complete set of turqoise jewlery and a native american belt (preferably made and sold off the NJ turnpike by ukrainian immigrants.)
