Last Christmas Michael's 12-year-old nephew Jacob gave us a can of ant & roach spray. According to the package, it 'Kills up to two weeks.' This is a very useful function for, say, Eric, who, due to his Iraq tour last year, has accumulated far more vacation time than he is likely to need and which he needs to use up by the end of the year. He was even planning a visit to see us in an effort to use up some of this time. Michael offered to send him the can of spray if he needed to kill any more time - guaranteed to kill up to two weeks - but Eric didn't seem to think it would help. Meanwhile Stephanie is coming to town tonight to pick up her stuff, now that she has her own apartment. It's been nice storing her bedroom set all these months, but this is good as it will enable us to get the room ready for Baby. It's nice how it all works out.
Not long now until Thanksgiving!

That sounds like a gift in the style of the wedding gift we received from DOB's 15-year-old brother, a toilet plunger. However, it was handy to have, and I was all the more grateful for it when I read Amy's tale of early married life without one.
